Thank you! Yes, my DMs should be open 😊

In the end, I gave up on trying to say enough to be useful while staying within the character limit. 😂

My rewritten and expanded essay “The Double Bind of Transmasculinity” is available here for free: open.substack.com/pub/edaviesa...

I’m seeking representation for the manuscript of The Desert as I continue work on it.

So, if you know any book agents who’d dream of pitching “Whipping Girl meets The Transgender Issue, with a strong transatlantic transmasc voice”… hook us up? 😘

Fun fact: this came about because I was trying to edit and repost the tweet thread that inspired The Desert here, but the character limit kept stumping me.

I’d marry Rena Yehuda any day. And this is just the beginning. 😉 Someday soon, we’ll hold the weddings we’d dreamed of to celebrate with loved ones in Brooklyn and London.

In the meantime, we’re protecting the foundation of our relationship: our freedom, together alone together. 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

I flew out to New York City before the inauguration, and we got married above a Manhattan mini-storage building. 😁

The incoming US administration refuses to acknowledge our genders from day 1. Project 2025 takes aim at us from page 1. Neither the UK nor Canada is safe, either. We’re going to have to fight like hell to protect our lives, our creative careers, and each other.

Our love is a radical act of defiance in a rising tide of authoritarianism, but our rights are not a given. They’re Jewish, I’m disabled and deaf, and we’re both transfags through and through.
