Review of book: ‘Transsexual Apostate’ by Debbie Hayton
Mother would throw her laddered tights in the bin and little Dobbie would retrieve them, covered in potato peelings, ‘or worse’ (Loc 142) and wear them. He was aged five. There is no additional information about how a pair of tights stretched out to an adult woman’s dimensions fitted a five year old boy and I would suggest that would be because it never happened.
Review of memoir: ‘Page Boy’ by Elliott Page
Another day, another trans memoir. Contains spoilers. Introduction Probably the cleverest thing about Page Boy is its title. Otherwise it is a fairly short (but
The T in LGBT: Tea with Jamie Raines
Jamie Raines aka Jammidodger has over a million subscribers on YouTube. At the time of writing her latest post, uploaded three days ago, had already received 77 thousand views. It’s normal for her to get over one hundred thousand hits, or even millions of hits, for her posts.
Her current pinned post is ‘Bad Women’s Anatomy is Getting WORSE’. In it, she’s ‘natural’ and chatty on camera, including clips of herself tripping up over the phrase ‘trans inclusive’, which could easily be edited out, but clearly kept in to add to the aesthetic of her don’t care/affable persona.

This is who her audience is then, girls who are unsure about their changing bodies.
Part 1: Jodi Picoult and Jennifer Finney Boylan
I read this book following my attendance of an event held with the authors of the book – Jodi Picoult and Jennifer Finney Boylan – when they were (sort of) interviewed by Juno Dawson, which I will write about separately and link here when done.
In the past I have been a big fan of Jodi Picoult, having read pretty much everything she has ever written. However, I stopped a few years ago. I can’t remember the name of the book now but do remember finishing it feeling uneasy and disappointed about the glib manner in which a very serious sexual abuse storyline had been used and the conclusion the author had appeared arrived at.
Book review: Jeffrey Marsh ‘How to be You’
Where did Jeffrey Marsh come from? Wikipedia tells us little, except that they wanted to be a musical star. However, we can establish that Marsh has been annoying since at least 2016 with this article describing him as genderqueer and has been dressing badly since at least 2008 (see video above).
