Doctor Who's David Tennant slams anti-trans bigots: 'F**k off'

Tennant said his sentiment comes from simply “wanting people to be allowed to exist” and accepting that “ways of expressing gender identity [and] sexuality are more nuanced than they once were”, adding: “If that helps people to know who they are, say who they are, and communicate to the world who they are, it’s just common sense.”

The Guide to Allyship

An open source starter guide to help you become a more thoughtful and effective ally.

To be an Ally is to:

  • Take on the struggle as your own.
  • Transfer the benefits of your privilege to those who lack it.
  • Amplify voices of the oppressed before your own.
  • Acknowledge that even though you feel pain, the conversation is not about you.
  • Stand up, even when you feel scared.
  • Own your mistakes and de-center yourself.
  • Understand that your education is up to you and no one else.
