Here lies the problem. There's a lot of evidence that most women (and slightly fewer men) are allies or at least have no negative views on trans issues, but the Anti trans minority are disproportionately loud. I know people who routinely speak up, we need to amplify that.

A really interesting list, and opinions. I've read enough here that I now want to read some on the list I'd let pass by before.

Have you read Ida Keogh's novella Fish! I think it would sit well here.

The Whale adaptation was closer to Sheridan's 1824 stage adaptation Presumption than GDT is to the novel.

The shortage of specialist interpreters (including BSL) is a problem in Mental Health services too. Often the nearest suitable interpreter is 100+ miles away so the travel time/cost is huge

I heard Monisha talk about her book at Kendal Mountain Festival last week. I was already a third of the way into the book, but that and her talk have set me researching night trains for next spring travels.
