Aisha Cleary was born during the night of 26 September 2019. She was found dead the next morning after her mother, a highly vulnerable 18 year old care leaver, gave birth alone in a prison cell in HMP Bronzefield. Now an inquest will open into her death inquest.org.uk/aisha-cleary-i…

This is shameful! Time for cis women who support the rights of our trans friends, colleagues, neighbours to live in safety and dignity to speak up. We can’t let this carry on in the name of ‘protecting women’. 🏳️⚧️⚧️

Really sad news about the end of @galdemzine. They told so many brave and important stories but this one in particular stuck with me gal-dem.com/transphobia-in… I’ll be putting my future membership fees somewhere else that amplifies marginalised voices 🖤
Pregnant women in prison are SEVEN times more likely to suffer stillbirth. When courts sentence pregnant women to prison, they could well be sentencing them to a stillbirth too. This is why we’re campaigning to stop imprisonment of pregnant women. theguardian.com/society/2023/m…
This case is such an awful example of what happens when the hostile environment collides with a justice system full of racial disproportionality, and the UK’s punitive approach to people with criminal records. I hope this family is reunited soon. theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/m…

An attack like this says "not even here." Behind closed doors isn't good enough for *them.* It's not that they want us to exist out of sight. They don't want us to exist at all.
