“I don’t want to do too much special pleading for men or claim victimhood. We don’t need special treatment. But I also don’t see the harm in trying to make everyone - everyone! - feel welcome in the big tent of literature.” Many excellent thoughts from Sam Jordison here and worth our attention:

"These searching, beautifully cadenced essays are filled with abiding truths" - Anne Enright On International #TransDayofVisibility, we return to these pivotal essays and reaffirm our commitment to amplifying trans voices and stories everywhere. Visibility matters. Solidarity matters. Choose love.🏳️‍⚧️
