Placard 'If You're Reading This I Want You To Know That You Are Valid And You Are Loved. You've Got This, I Believer In You'
MOT/2024/NDOTC/EDIN/074
Tag My protest sign from the gender recognition reform/section 35 protests in January 2023. The front part was made on the way to the first protest, as a last minute decision to go, then I added the cardboard before the next one. I think protesting is a wonderful part of trans resistance [Formatting Note: a word is scribbled out before the phrase 'trans resistance'.]

Poem Written With Fancy Calligraphy
MOT/2024/NDOTC/EDIN/028
Tag The first poem I've written in 15 years. Written in secretary and court hands. Transition has given me back energy, creativity and joy I thought I'd lost, and given me a wonderful connection with some incredibly talented and inspiring queer creatives. I want to make things again, because it's for myself now.
