what we need is The Antidote
Amazon review
Its a timely critique of neoliberalism and an inspiring call for a different politics people can engage with. It offers diagnosis & direction, inviting readers to imagine & participate in more equitable, democratic & caring forms of social organisation.

We can name a thing without ever capturing its essence. Yet the words we choose still enter the world and take on a reality of their own.

We tried to place this story - very expensive polling, the first of its kind, strong quantitative data about what trans people feel about Britain: bluntly there is no better way to tell the story - with the BBC but it said it was "too weak".

But it will pick up any old piece of transhating garbage.
In @yougov.co.uk polling of the trans community, to the best of our knowledge the first of its kind ever conducted, an astonishing 84% said Britain is “fairly unsafe” or “very unsafe” for trans people.

My new essay in Please See Me explores the shadow side of a mental health diagnosis—the parts our diagnostic tools can’t hold and the slow work of finding language that truly fits.
