Trans book fest

Pechey introduced himself as a they/them, describing himself as having ‘strawberry blonde hair,’ when we could all see he’s bleached blonde. Despite being an ‘award winning author, presenter, educator,’ the hand wringing began immediately. Things were so awful right now, Pechey was so very thankful that the other panel members had managed to roll out of bed that morning to sit alongside him. Brave and stunning.

Keynote panel talk at the Barbican’s ‘Dirty Weekend’ takeover

One panel member had been scared off being her real self due to the conservative push back, affecting how she ‘showed up online’ and had been forced to take twelve months out to do an art residency so that she could regain her confidence. She wanted now to make pieces (dildos?, I really don’t know) that people can really connect with. Honestly, the comedy writes itself with these people.

Book review: Talk to Me by Munroe Bergdorf

It’s been a big year for Bergdorf, as this Penguin how-to/self-help book, called Talk To Me (how to talk about the things that matter) was published. And there was also the documentary Love & Rage: Munroe Bergdorf. These were released within days of each other. As of the date of writing, there is one review on Amazon, and, unusually, not a single endorsement embedded into the official blurb. These people all have the same agent, so it’s not like there’s a dearth of Z-list slebs to gush over the truly inexecrable, therefore I suspect a marketing choice.
