Quick question- what’s the BBC doing using an insidious and misleading phrase like “underage women” to talk about inappropriate behaviour with young girls?
You can’t be a woman and be underage. This kind of language deliberately takes the gut punch out of calling a child a child. This isn’t okay.

My cousin and their partner wrote an important letter today to @newstatesman.com about their unacceptable endorsement of anti-trans rhetoric. I’m very proud of the two of them for speaking up and eternally frustrated that we are still fighting these battles in 2025. #lgbtq #humanrights #newstatesman

Yesterday I finally did something I’ve wanted to do for years- I submitted my book proposal to an agent.
The /Queer podcast has been my greatest love and passion project for 5 years now and I am so excited to go even further with the platforming of these stories.
Keep fingers crossed for me ❤️🤞🏻

![Screenshot of an email submission to a literary agent which reads as follows:
“Dear [],
I am looking for representation for my non-fiction book Queer Humans, which explores the narratives of gender and sexuality diverse people from countries across the globe.
Based on field research conducted between 2019-2023 in the USA, Japan, Indonesia, Turkey, South Africa, Lesotho and the wider seafaring community, Queer Humans seeks to demonstrate the interconnected nature of gender and sexuality diverse cultures around the world. Between first-person accounts of gender and sexuality history and academic contextualisation, Queer Humans grounds itself in conversations around colonialism, transnationalism, globalisation, intersectionality, queer theory, kinship and body politics. Queer Humans is written in a semi-formal tone, employing both academic insights and perspectives from my own lived experience, intended to make the subject matter more empathetic and personable.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:muwcpomlz7pn2robmcglybic/bafkreigaj2cjinrv5wl6dcdpjq36cfg32dc5laignwwgwplrfpqh2ihjma@jpeg)
