Image promoting the Trans Advocacy & Complaints Collective. The image includes a black and white photograph of Roberta Cowell, a transgender woman who transitioned in the 1950s. Text reads, "Roberta Cowell transitioned in the 1950s. A WW2 fighter pilot and racing driver, she faced stigma, isolation, and medical gatekeeping, without the support networks we have today. She wasn't following a trend. She wasn't being “woke.” She was being herself, in a world that made it almost impossible. Trans people have always existed. What's changed isn't who we are-it's the fact we're finally being heard." A QR code and the website address, www.tacc.org.uk, are also included.
