[Igneococcus]

On purity spirals and trans:

Thank you for posting that Igneococcus, an excellent article. Also very interesting to read the editors' responses to Helen Joyce's book proposal. The publishing industry is not what one would consider brave and prefers to pick up the sure seller, so it's always amusing when they call it wrong. (Trans is currently #19 on the Amazon Bestseller list, an awesome achievement.)

Trans is also ranked number 1 today on Blackwells sale rankings.

It can even be found on page 2 of the bestselling hardbacks at Waterstones.

What a genius decision by all those brave people in the publishing industry to let this one go.

Oops didn’t mean to post that! Also dislike LS but glad to see her viewpoint on this issue.

Lucid article. Shriver is an excellent writer.

[quote RoastChicory]I haven’t read the latest article yet but Lionel Shriver is great on this subject as as a teenager she changed her name from Margaret to Lionel.

This is an article she wrote in 2016.

Wow, that's a brilliant article.

I’m another who doesn’t really like her, but I can’t for the life of me remember why.
