Erlick wrote in the book in response to the current attack on trans people, particularly trans youth in the US and UK (which turned out to be a very strong theme of the conversation, surprise, surprise). He chose the stories according to how useful they would be in providing counterpoints to arguments presented by the gender critical movement. So, not at all cynical then.

Nicola Sturgeon: Frankly
Like most people, it wasn’t until Sturgeon was in her thirties that she loosened up and became more comfortable with herself, but unlike most people, Sturgeon believes this marks herself out as different.
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.

Review of documentary – Love & Rage: Munroe Bergdorf
The director of the film, Olivia Cappuccini, thanked Bergdorf for letting her into his world, which was the ‘epitome of freedom’.

Such gibberish was a sure sign the documentary was not only going to be illiterate, but also a masterclass in arse-licking.
Review: Ugly Sisters
A summary of the plot: Once upon a time a woman said something a man didn’t like and the man spent the rest of his life feeling spooked. It did have a fairy tale quality to it in that respect. In this specific case, the woman was Germaine Greer and the man, a tranny.
