If you love #newtheatre, head to @waterlooeast.bsky.social for @cantkillthespirit.bsky.social, a brand new play about the power of protest + family ties. I'm 100% biased as my dad wrote it and my mum's in it, but it's GREAT 💫 #londontheatre #mustseetheatre www.waterlooeast.co.uk/cant-kill-th...

A thread in which I try to show some of the harmful practical effects on the quality of its analysis of the Supreme Court's appalling and delegitimating decision to exclude all trans voices from a judgment with profound effects on trans people's lives.

it was an internet contagion, they said...I let myself wonder...her withdrawal into an online world full of trolls was an explanation I entertained. Peter disagreed...puberty must have felt like such a threat, he countered. If she’d found people online to help her...we should be glad. British VOGUE

Proud pub day for #HerNameIsAlice included visiting the lovely Gays the Word to sign preorders. Please buy a copy for any family or friends who may have something to learn from Caroline and Alice's story. There's so much power and beauty in it 🏳️‍⚧️ lnk.to/HerNameIsAlice @alicemydaughter.bsky.social

Whilst I'm proud today marks the official publication of #HerNameIsAlice I'll spend much of the day thinking if only I hadn't had to write it, remembering my beautiful daughter and wishing with all my heart she was still here and that there was no book.

As we witness the dismantling of trans rights at the hands of the Trump administration, we must unite to fight back, for all humanity. Her Name is Alice, with a human story at its heart, is already changing minds. Now its a Waterstones Best March Book. Share, share, share. lnk.to/HerNameIsAlice

So thrilled that #HerNameIsAlice @alicemydaughter.bsky.social is a @waterstones.bsky.social Best March Book. It's an unmissable, powerful memoir on love, grief and the transgender experience. Please share and preorder if you can lnk.to/HerNameIsAlice waterstones.com/blog/the-wat...

A huge thank you to those who’ve given the book such a warm reception. I’m very proud of it. Share it with your cis friends and family: the allies, those with ‘reasonable concerns’ and the out and out terfs. Dare them to read HER NAME IS ALICE and not question their prejudices, their indifference.

i met Caroline Litman at Trans+ Pride London in 2022 and took her picture, along with her daughter, Kate. reading HER NAME IS ALICE made me cry just as much as i did then. a must-read for those curious about trans people and those who love us, beyond the sensationalist media headlines.

So proud to hold a finished HER NAME IS ALICE with @alicemydaughter.bsky.social Thank you for your support 💛 @elinorcleghorn.bsky.social @sofiehagen.bsky.social @paulsinha.bsky.social @richbeard.bsky.social @vic-parsons.bsky.social @mrjohnmccullough.bsky.social Preorder lnk.to/HerNameIsAlice

Two days after Streeting bans puberty blockers for gender dysphoria, #HerNameIsAlice goes to print. Topical, beautiful + important, it portrays the real impact of inadequate trans healthcare. I couldn't be prouder of @alicemydaughter.bsky.social Please read + share lnk.to/HerNameIsAlice

BREAKING On the day the UK government announces a permanent puberty blocker ban I learn: ALICE’S DATA WAS NOT INCLUDED in data sent to Appleby to assess for his rushed DHSC report, that dismissed whistleblower claims of increased suicides in trans youth since Bell. The report is a proven sham.

An appropriately bookish first post! The loveliest eve with veteran Silver Moon bookseller and our author Jane Cholmley discussing her memoir ‘A Bookshop of One’s Own’ – and sharing her words of wisdom with the fantastic team at the newly opened Bard Books. A full circle bookseller moment! 🌙
