We're at the 'we're very sorry we hired a trans person' stage in the UK's systematic erasure of trans people.
Horrible story. Apologising because a trans employee had the temerity to interact with a customer. What are we becoming?

As a queer Scot who has watched Rowling decimate trans safety and rights in my own country, I personally find it deeply offensive to see people claim that they need to keep HP relevant because some queer people still want to read fanfic and buy Etsy stickers.

Reading Other Worlds by André Alexis and it's spectacular. The first, long story "Contrition: An Isekai" is a work of genius, I think. Absolutely perfect in its canny uncanniness and also beautiful evocation of an immigrant experience in such a fresh and insightful way. Funny, deep, compassionate.
