Inspired by queer history, Trans Kids Deserve Better occupy Department for Education

We asked Trans+ journalist Sasha Baker to go down and report on the biggest story of the week: Trans Kids Deserve Better's second direct action - this time, at the Department for Education. In a QueerAF exclusive, ahead of the action Baker spoke to the group, who told us that the action is inspired by decades of queer history and direct action, including lesbian abseilers.
