I think one of the better, more subtle tributes to Robert Redford's life is the string of utterly iconic female co-stars who've come forward to eulogize him; each of them take-no-shit types like Fonda and Streisand, and every one of them without a single bad thing to say. A model for male behavior

The NYT thinks my book is Hopelessly Positive. They’re right. Free Palestine.

Was actually wrong, I'm just two days away form having a full year's worth of stats.

It's going to come in at just under 1,100 articles about trans people in the Guardian, Times, Mail and Telegraph over that time, almost all attacks.
