KM: If you could send your love to anyone, who would it be and why?
CL: Everyone. Even those who might hate me, and I hate them. Even those who are fundamentally motivated by hate. I want to live in a world where everybody deserves everything.

Politics, Gaza and money collide at The Giller Prize | Front Burner | CBC Podcasts | CBC Listen
For the last year, Canada’s premier literary award The Giller Prize has been embroiled in a controversy that has split the Canadian literary community. Last years gala was interrupted by protestors who rushed the stage carrying placards emblazoned with ‘Scotiabank Funds Genocide.’ What they were referring to was the fact The Giller’s lead sponsor, Scotiabank, was a principal shareholder of one of Israel’s largest weapons manufacturers. They also objected to a pair of Giller sponsors invested in the Israeli military and settlements in the occupied West Bank. Since then, a number of former Giller winners, along with hundreds of bookworkers across the country have committed to a boycott. Winner of the 2005 Giller Prize David Bergen joins the show to discuss his decision not to attend this year’s Giller Prize – and a broader conversation about the duty of a writer, and whether it is possible for artists to reconcile their personal convictions with the interests of corporate sponsors.

No matter where you are in your trans-ness, if you are feeling despair, I cannot recommend enough engaging with the writings and histories of our elders who lived our lives before the 21st Century. It is both not as dark as you think and tougher than you think. And it will give you something.
