One of the most important books I read this year.
A year ago, I was finishing the first draft of Vivre avec les hommes - one day after the verdict, following the rule I had set for myself. It both feels like yesterday and like a lifetime ago. Thank you to all of you who have read it and who have talked about it this year!

The term "gender ideology" is a dog whistle for anti-LGBTIQ hate, used to strip our community of our fundamental rights by framing our identities as a political choice. And it's going global.
