Sophie is now posting photo’s of people and where they live on her blog. Please, even if you haven’t had contact from her, or even if she’s not affecting your life, report her. Her name is Sophie M Herold, and she is destroying lives for no reason. Don’t just ask them to shut down her blog, this will do nothing to stop her, she needs to be reported to authorities, what she has done is illegal.

For those who don’t know what this person has done, she has taken the names, addresses and other personal info of LGBTQ people, and is sending this information out to the whole world, and outing these people against their will.

This is her blog here.

My name is Edward Lucas, and I am putting a stop to her, I am standing up to her, and I will end it. Reblog this, all of you, I don’t care if it makes your blog “ugly” or whatever. This is peoples lives at risk.

And Sophie, if you’re reading this, I mean every word I say.

It is NEVER okay to out a trans person.

People seem to think that outing a trans person isn’t that big a deal, that what they’re telling people is the truth and the said transgender will simply get upset and that would be the end of it. WRONG.

Not everyone is as acceptive as others, for some reason there is a lot of hate against the LGBT community, and because the T is often missed out, and lesser understood, more hatred comes to trans people than it should. Im not saying we get any more or any less than LGB individuals, but I certainly feel as through trans are less accepted (at least in the UK anyway) People target trans people, and the fact that others can so easily and openly out a transgender without a second thought can have extreme consequences.
I’m sure the majority of you at some point have seen a video online of a group of people beating another. This has happened to transgenders too often. I’m sure a lot of you have seen a post on here about a guy who got a bloody face and black eye from walking down his own street.

Let me stress to you just how bad it can be. This information is based on real events that have happened to me, and no trans person should have to go through it.
Name calling, having things thrown at you, having to wait behind school until the majority of all the other kids have gone home, and then meeting your mum to walk 5 minutes down a road to the train station just to keep you safe, friends being bullied cause they know you, partners harassed, hate mail, people spitting at you, people swinging punches at you, death threats. All of these things have happened because people spread things. Even if someone else doesn’t hurt them, outing a transgender can lead to them hurting themselves.

Respect people, even if you do not personally like them, never use something against them like that. No matter what their race, religion, gender, orientation, or otherwise. If they wish people to know, they will tell them in their own time.

Outing a transgender can put their life at risk. Think. Please.

Fellow tumblarians in the UK:

There is a tv program on tonight called “The Coming Out Diaries”

It’s on at 9pm on BBC3. It follows the story of 3 or 4 teenagers as they come out to friends/family/to themselves about being LGBT.

I was interviewed about it and could have been on it :P

But yeah, go watch!! It should be interesting and quite formative :)

Yes, in the UK gender therapists can be free on the NHS, but sometimes they’re not. And even when they are, the waiting lists are horrendous. Seriously, if I had the money I would much rather pay for my treatment and better quality of service.
