Sorry, I know there is another thread on Keira's amazing victory yesterday, but it's not taking any more comments and I cant read through it all.
I know Keira has been on MN before, so may be she will see all of our comments from yesterday, but I am just struck by how incredibly brave that young woman has been and continues to be. And now ridiculous BBC journalists are somehow ignoring the 30+ pages of considered legal judgement which found that the best interests of children was NOT to rush them onto hormone treatments and are instead basically telling Keira their misery is her fault. It's beyond belief.
The emotional depths Keira will need to be digging into to survive this are beyond my comprehension. Here I am, a middle aged woman and mother with many advantages in life, and I cant even tweet to her my respect and thanks and admiration because I cannot handle the inevitable fall out for my career and private life. I know I am not the only one by a long shot who is in that position.
So, what can we do? How do we show her how utterly amazing she is? How do we thank her? I know she cr0wd fund3d her case, but is more needed? Is there some way we can help her more directly, personally? Or just show our appreciation? As I write this I think that may be what's really needed is more of us to "come out" as GC. I'll need to think about that. I'm not sure I'm as brave as Keira. But short of that, what else can we do?
