The head of media at Stonewall in the UK – which calls itself the largest LGBTIQ rights charity across Europe – announced this week that he plans to take a year-long sabbatical amid “a tsunami of transphobia”.
Jeffrey Ingold described his job in a Twitter thread as “a dream come true” and that he was “so proud to have led such an incredible team”.
But, he added, “it’s become an extremely difficult climate to work in amidst a tsunami of transphobia. The hatred directed at Stonewall has taken an immense personal toll on me. While it’s nothing compared to what trans people experience, I’m burnt out and tired of the abuse.
