ICYMI, I spent my Sunday tracing the timeline on the mass withdrawals from the Polari Prize longlists over the inclusion of an author who calls himself a TERF who agrees with JK Rowling on trans issues.
The number of authors pulling out is at 14 now. All of their books are linked to in my story.

Yes! For anyone who missed the news, the government must now allow those impacted by Trump's order to receive a passport with their correct gender listed while our case proceeds.
The State Department issued guidance for how to apply for a new or updated passport. We recommend applying now.

Largest trans survey ever finds the top reason transgender people stop transitioning is transphobia
“In almost every single case, the reason was anti-trans discrimination in the form of pressure to ‘detransition’ from one’s family, friends, or community,” the survey found.
