Excited to be the recipient of @ace_national DYCP grant to develop a novel through research and mentoring with @JTaylorTrash. I’m really conscious of and grateful for the richness of the time this will allow me to write and think and grow as a creative. Now to grasp the pen...

Janey is gone now. But the disgusting trolls who harassed her on her deathbed remain among us. Let this radicalise you rather than lead you to despair. Fk Glinner and all GCs.

I see that the usual suspects are spouting heinous transphobic nonsense again so resharing this thread. For the record, you don’t need trans family members to be an ally. You just need empathy and a moral compass.
