If you’d like to buy a copy of my book, which looks at the lives and history of Black gay men in Britain, you can get a copy from a bookshop or any of the retailers on the attached link. And please do buy books from the other withdrawn authors linktr.ee/revolutionaryacts

That is to say while I’m pleased other authors followed suit I think this is just a bare minimum action tbh. We’re not chaining our bodies to gates or going out to protest it’s just one email to your publicist to request that you’re taken off

Appreciate this but I just don’t see it as that big a sacrifice. It’s just a prize, it’s not like there’s life changing money on the table. It cost me nothing to pull out and I got on with the rest of my day. The burden is borne by the trans people who are once again treated like a discursive issue

If you’ve personally stolen my book that’s one thing… but sharing it out to the public is a piss take. I worked hard for years researching and writing this book at a lot of personal financial sacrifice and it is degrading and undercutting to be brazenly pirated

You cannot tell a person is Jewish from their skin colour, in the way you can tell a person is Black from theirs. You could tell a person is Jewish from what they are wearing which would give context, but that still does not mean it is read from colour. That is a very simple and clearly true point.
