A bit overwhelmed this morning with my words quoted in the Metro, Standard, Mirror, Independent and even in Australia, but crickets, i’m told from the Times, Telegraph, Guardian and Daily Mail. I always ruminate about how I might have said it better, because the message is too important to mess up.

Today London Trans Pride was full of celebration, defiance, joy, tears, pride and protest. 150K trans+ people, allies, parents, partners, & children saying “ENOUGH” at the cruelty & blatant discrimination being targeted at trans+ people in the UK - much of it from our current government!

150,000 march through London in world's largest trans pride, organisers say
"The co-founder of advocacy group
Transparent Action said: "Andy (Burnham), if you're listening, I'm the mother of a trans child who took her life by suicide and more children are going to die on your watch if you don't do something to reverse the anti-trans policies that your predecessor has overseen.

Times are scary and rough for the UK and US trans + communities who have seen a huge uptake in hate and intolerance towards them in recent years. Caused by a combination of hostile goverments and well-funded anti-rights groups. We will get through this. Cracks in the regimes of hate are showing on

Italian police killed a Moroccan man in Bologna. In case you missed it or tried to ignore it. We know you think only white lives matter, but not a few of us believe Moroccan men are entitled to life. Get a spine; speak up. You benefit from such deaths! Power to the Italians protesting the killing.

Good news! Everything Will Swallow You got chosen as a recommended read for July in The Guardian. (The review's misleading in terms of what the book really is, but let's forget about that bit.) Nice to be in the company of Miriam Toews, who is rather great. www.theguardian.com/books/ng-int...
