Yesterday (Sun 23/11/25), I delivered one of my talks. This time, to a group of people who support people with their worries and quite often mental health. It is fitting that I have come full circle with this organisation that helped my early team in the beginning to understand listening skills and empathy. For me to come along now to deliver a our journey on how they can have empathy when talking to LGBTQIA+ people on their phone lines.

As I was leaving, I got some lovely feedback, and it's not the first time I have had this type of feedback:

This was so inciteful.
Great talk, learnt more today than I usually do when we get speakers.
Thank you for being so open and available.

This is an hours talk of showing the type of journeys LGBTQIA+ people can have through out life. The barriers we sometimes come across. Because I talk about hate crimes, bullying, and parental rejection. It becomes a human walk. of life for an LGBTQIA+ person.

Get in touch if you need my 1-hour talk on the Mental Health of LGBTQIA+ people. Happy to do in-person or online.

I don't have permission to use their name, so I have left it out for now.

I recently went to the Trans Day of Remembrance on Sunday, 16th November. We got to hear people's real experiences in what is a hostile environment for the Trans Community right now.

I've been to all of the vigils in Reading since it began with , and now we have . To me, it doesn't matter who holds the baton as long as those voices, the education, and visibility keeps going. What I also liked about this year is that we get to see recognition of those who have passed from su***de, but also those we should never forget. It's important to always remember all Trans people or their names will fade into the background. I can't tell you how happy I was to see friends' name added.

Whether a Trans person passes by murder, su***de or natural, unforeseen circumstances. Never let us forget the impact their passings have on all of us. It's a really fitting time on TDoR that we remember as many as possible. Keep educating on those who lose their lives to hate crimes and those we should continue to celebrate.

If you would like to attend a Trans Day of Remembrance vigil, there are 2 more coming up soon.
