Johnny B. Truant, author of Fat Vampire and 100+ books, says:
Thanks for being you. It’s taken me time to see through the binary/hetero/cis that I took as standard and unwavering through most of my life, so it’s always great to hear voices I haven’t heard before.
LC Sharkey says:
I love how good you are at asking questions and initiating dialog that prompts so many of us to think more deeply, in a very nuanced way, about both gender as a cultural phenomenon, and our own relationship to, and experience of, gender.
It's also very encouraging to see how many readers who are cis-het find something to identify with in these conversations. It's fun to see how we all have relatable experiences to share, even when our genders (or lack thereof), and the way we express them, are so different.
With your guidance, the conversation has a sense of gentle curiosity that I find very welcoming and accessible.
Jude says:
I have been trawling for uplifting posts about trans/non-binary people. Unfortunately most of what I’m finding is hateful rhetoric, but your helpful article emerged like a shining beacon of hope!
