I have achieved a good life in the social role of a man - exceptional really as I’ve never claimed to be anything other than a trans man
I have fought not just for the rights of TP but also for women in my work
You can never understand the person I am

“Punitive approaches are driving #LGBTQ+ people, sex workers, people who use drugs, and other marginalised communities away from life-saving health services. This is an injustice. Leaders, scrap these hateful harmful laws, now.” - @Winnie_Byanyima 🇺🇳 #AIDS2024
