“I really enjoyed working with Mermaids to set up their digital mobilisation programme. The work they do to support trans young people and their families is so vital, and the transphobia they face on a daily basis is sickening. It was amazing to see the power of digital allowing people to stand up against that abuse and support the trans community in their thousands.”
