Anna Lee, who calls herself a 'queer trans disabled lesbian woman', says online trolling and personal abuse highlight the importance of her campaign

The first "queer trans disabled lesbian woman" to run for women's officer at the National Union of Students (NUS), Anna Lee, celebrated her birthday on Tuesday by giving herself a rest from interacting with online abusers, trolls and transphobes.

Since announcing late last week on Facebook that she would run for the position, she says she has been "inundated by mostly middle-aged white men who seem to be very angry about it".
