Mental illness and transgender
Whilst LGBT+ history month is a time to celebrate the progress of queer liberation, the rise of conservative regimes across the world has made it increasingly important to reflect on the harms still suffered by LGBT+ individuals during a time that was described by Advocate as “the deadliest year for trans Americans on record”.
This fact has not gone unnoticed by the media and Yas Necati reminds us of the following:
…to be LGBTQ+ is not just about who you’re attracted to or what gender you identify with, but also about whether you’ll make it through the next day, and how you’ll make it through that day. Particularly if you’re a person of colour. Particularly if you’re transgender.
– The Independent, 2018.
