It's not a "war". The BBC needs to update its website to say "Gaza Genocide"

I wrote a historical novel about a trans girl growing up in Victorian England. The reviews are rather glowing, if I say so myself:
A Picture of the cover of To Be A Girl by Alexandra Hamer. The cover is red, with a silhouette of a young woman in Victorian clothes and a cat running. The woman has a cut-throat razor in her hand. The text reads: "A transgender girl's breathtaking fight to survive as herself in Victorian England and to be loved for who she is. Order now from Amazon or your local bookshop. This is one of the most extraordinary books I've read... It's harrowing in parts, it's glorious in it's descriptions and heart-warming with it's gentle romance and deep love. Took me on a journey that made me realise the importance of being who we are and recognising that acceptance, tolerance and understanding should be applied in every aspect of our lives. Amazon Customer ...totally gripped from start to finish. Hamer’s writing was so vivid and evocative it transported me to another time and place. She doesn’t shy away from the violence and fear of a life as a transgender women in Victorian times but the book is also full of love, hope and joy. Everyone should read this book! Jai Mackenzie ...This book will pull you in and let you feel the emotions of the central character. Truly a portal into a world that a lot of us don't understand, but we as humans need to... deeply touching. Elaine Simpson Her feelings, thoughts, and tentative steps to realizing her dream caused me to reflect on my own childhood, a rare achievement in a work of fiction... HW Coyle I think anyone, trans or not, will enjoy this! Caroline M Mathieson ...I just absolutely adore Emmeline as a character; intelligent, resourceful, creative and with big heart... my only complaint is that it had to end. Lily Nichole Robinson ...very quickly became totally enthralled... a real page turner to be read almost at a sitting. Robyn Hoode This is undoubtedly a precursor to a very bright future for the author, well written, broad scope fully intriguing and believable in all ways... a true romantic novel with the grit and love, violence and desperation... I was smitten with the main character and found her totally believable and very relatable... Jar ...just a great, gripping story, wonderful characters, and a perfect ending. LibrarianCyn

I love this old reconstruction, possibly by Charles Knight.

The backlash against Glinner's arrest tells you just how alarmed the public are, that there might be limits to how horrible they can be to trans people.

The penis and clitoris are essentially the same organ.

If you're thinking, "but women don't pee out of the end of the their clitoris", read on: 1/3

Trans women are biological women.

Most humans have mostly one set of sex characteristics or the other but we're all a bit of a mixture and no one is 100% male or female. 🧵

When the Abercorn Cafe in Belfast was bombed in 1972, two people were killed. They called it terrorism.

When the IDF bombed Al-Baqa Cafeteria a few days ago, at least twenty people were killed. And they call the people protesting about the IDF, terrorists.

Transition was a process by which I went from being a female with a masculine body and a male legal and social identity, to being a female a feminine body, and a female legal and social identity.
