#NYCC COME GET YOUR GAY BOOKS!

Hall 1B, Table WB-4, Writers Block - behind the JSA booth near Artists Alley 😘

Photo of my table at NYCC 2025. It has a lilac tablecloth with "AK Faulkner, Ravensword Press" in white on it.

On the table are many gay books, a shelf of more gay books, and a big neon sign which reads "GAY BOOKS"

"Almost every person who answered The News’ survey said they’d had more trouble sleeping and felt less safe in public spaces since November. Over two-thirds said they’d been thinking more about suicide."

My dope friend Adrian, who is trans, interviewed 90 transgender Texans. His project is finally out: www.dallasnews.com/news/politic...

We surveyed 90 trans Texans. Most said they’re living in fear and weighing a move

Respondents said anti-trans policies have complicated their sense of home in Texas and pushed them to consider leaving the state.

Just openly cheering the destruction of any representation of gay people in public space. They think their power is totally unrestricted, and the entire country will support them rolling back society to the 1950s, or maybe the 1850s

And the gender criticals will still say that care is too easily accessed because they don't think trans people should exist at all.

Adam Turner 🏳️‍🌈 @awjt.bsky.social · 6d

In Glasgow, there is a 224-year waiting list for gender clinic appointments.

224 YEARS.

This is institutionalised discrimination. It's unacceptable, it's ruining people's lives and it needs to change.

We have the solution. Time for politicians to act.

Gender Clinic Files: Some people in Scotland will never get a gender clinic appointment on a 224-year waitlist.

This system is failing to support people to transition not because it is broken, but by design. The frustrating thing is that this would not be a difficult problem to solve under a different political paradigm.

Trans+ people do not need to be assessed by gender clinics or diagnosed by psychiatrists to tell us what we already know: we are trans. The healthcare we need, especially when it comes to hormones, is already available to cis people through making an appointment with their GP.

Gender clinics are unnecessary and exist to segregate healthcare for Trans+ people. Abolishing this system and providing Trans+ healthcare in primary care, at the GP through an informed consent model, would solve many of the issues this data reveals. GPs already prescribe hormones to cis adults. Trans+ adults simply need the same access to this healthcare.

This headline from Politico is incorrect and feeds into anti-abortion scare tactics: doctors aren't 'anonymously' prescribing abortion pills - their name just isn't publicly visible on the pill bottle.

"It's not hard to imagine that a digital ID system, once created, would prove catnip to politicians and lawmakers who could take it even further. If you've already got this ID system ... why not require it for creating social media accounts or logging on to age-gated websites?"

First the U.K., next the U.S.? Britain’s digital ID plan should scare Americans.

Once created, a digital ID system will prove catnip to politicians who want to track what where we go online and off.
