Spending a lot of time thinking today about what trans authors are allowed to write about (trans pain, suffering, oppression, body horror) vs. what we should be allowed to write about if we want to (non-trans characters, fantasy worlds, action, romance, joy)…

Before a recent book fair, here’s the Thirty West family photo of 2025. 4 chapbooks & 4 books; some debuts, some veterans. No matter what happens, this group made a historical run possible for us: our 10th year in publishing. How many have you read? Which ones do you want?

have you pre ordered "again, harder" from feminist press? here's some anonymized ballyhoo from friends & peers

This is the most seismic thing to happen in Trans Lit in like the last four or so years. Alice is setting the bar that all of us will try in vain to surpass or even touch. Pre order it fucking now

once again you must preorder this book if you're interested in either the american short story tradition or the future of trans fiction

The problem with this, though, is that ultimately they are teenagers and want the easiest way out. Plus, that essay needs to be written eventually—so even though it is a good activity, those kids are still going to go back to generative AI to do the heavy lifting for their writing anyway…
