I forgot to mention that the book Transpositions, compiled by Sarah Phillimore and Al Peters (moley) is available on Amazon.
It’s a collection of people’s peaking stories. I have the Kindle version, but I’d recommend the paperback, it’s one of those books that’s good to flick through. Some of the stories are heartbreaking.
I went to the book launch event, which was some high quality TERFing. As you might have heard, Sarah advertised it on EventBrite who pulled the event for “Hateful, Dangerous, or Violent Content.” Then the venue contacted her to ask her not to mention the venue online because they were afraid of violence. In the end, there was no ‘protest’ at all, which was almost an anti-climax.
Sarah is suing EventBrite and has a crowdfunder.

The book is easy enough to find on Amazon, but the link is to some Twitter content that I can’t see without a Twitter account, which I don’t have. How is it related to the book?
Oh, sorry, Harald, I didn’t check the link. I think latsot must have mixed up his links. The tweet doesn’t seem to be directly related to the book – it’s some guy saying “DIE CIS SCUM” and people congratulating him for saying it.
Oops, my bad.
You’re right, that was a copy paste error. Just someone else who feels I should die, perhaps because of or regardless of my allegedly being cis scum.
It happens a dozen or so times a day but this one was remarkable for how unappetising the cake saying “DIE CIS SCUM” looks.
Here’s the link to the book: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Transpositions-Personal-journeys-gender-criticism-ebook/dp/B0BMM5KGJR
Fixed. I could have looked up the link but didn’t get around to it…too much nonsense popping up everywhere. I only have so many eyes and fingers!!
I really do recommend the book. It’s made me cry seven times so far.
