When Not A Phase, a charity to change the lives of trans and gender-diverse adults for the better, was founded in 2020, it was a time of immense upheaval and pressure for the queer community. According to a report by Galop, four out of five trans respondents said that they had been the victim of a transphobic hate crime. And a quarter of those said that the attack had been violent in nature.
