In May 2021, an anonymous letter in The Bookseller warned that transphobia was a problem in the publishing industry. 3 years later, a culture of silence and fear has prevented much further public comment. So I wrote about it. And I named names. vashtimedia.com/books-transpho…

My mother has to stand there, waiting to be released, from an *outdoor seating area*. (What would happen if there was a fire? Who knows!) Stop disabling people with inaccessible spaces. Stop removing their dignity. /diwedd

When I was 11, there was a girl in my year who looked 16. She wasn't, she was 11, but she'd hit puberty very early. I wasn't her friend, but I know she did not have an easy time. So, I support puberty blockers for all children who need them, for whatever reason they need them.
