This is an image of British Commandos on a approaching Sword Beach on D-Day, 6th June 1944. War is a horrific thing; these men left their loved ones to enter its hellish cauldron. Some never returned. We remember their immense bravery and sacrifices so that they should never be necessary again.

The same people who are terrified of those in the trans community are also those who have never met and will likely never actually meet anyone in the trans community, yet they would be just fine with this administration erasing trans rights altogether! We must stand strong with the trans community!
