A queer community writing group 😊 We’re based in Manchester UK, with regular relaxed writing meet ups at Social Refuge. Check our Linktree for upcoming dates: https://linktr.ee/fruitsaladwriters #queer #writingcommunity #manchester
Almost 10,000 authors have come together to publish an empty book protesting the theft of books by tech companies to train AI models.
Titled Don’t Steal This Book, it is empty of text except the names of the authors involved.. 🧵
Over twenty years ago, a court ruled that forcing trans people to live “in an intermediate zone as not quite one gender or the other is no longer sustainable”.
That decision became the foundation for the UK’s Gender Recognition Act.
Here’s how ✍️ @jessothomson.co.uk
Take this list challenge to see how many trans books you’ve read!
I’ve only read 15 out of the 100 on this list. I’ve read a ton of trans books, but there were so many here I didn’t know! I love that, so many more to discover.
Perfect for the #transrightsreadathon

Tonight! Only a few tickets left 😃
Graphic advertising a free Trans+ History Workbook, featuring the workbook cover, open pages, and a tablet screen with lesson content. Text reads “Free Trans+ History Workbook.” Logos for QueerAF and Diva Charitable Trust appear at the bottom.
The more time we spend making the millennia-old history of Trans+ people well known - the quicker we can drown out their lies about us.
Our workbook with @transhistoryweek.com is packed full of ideas to help make that history visible 🏳️⚧️
