Watch and donate: “TERF Island”

I’m featured in the voiceover of this trailer for the forthcoming documentary TERF Island! You can hear me reflect briefly on the limitations of trans liberalism, as well as the threat posed to the cis / sexist world order by the possibility of real liberation.


TERF Island will explore trans people’s every lives in the UK, looking at everyday experiences of art, culture, and community against the backdrop of rising hatred and discrimination. I have contributed by sharing some of my research with the creators at Hissing Goose Films. The film also features contributions from a range of amazing groups and people, including Cheap Dirty Horse, transkaters, Tribe Incorporated, CAMP Wrestling, Olivia Campbell Cavendish, Jazmeen Qureshi, What The Trans, and Shivani Dave.

Hissing Goose are now crowdfunding to finish off the film. You can learn more here.

Please do share and/or donate to the crowdfunding page if you can!

Building our own power: the Glasgow Transfem Electrolysis Project

Last year I joined the Glasgow Transfem Electrolysis Project, a super cool initiative which is raising money to train and equip two community members as electrolysists. Building on the example of Electrolysis by Siobhan, who opened her service off the back of a similar project in Manchester, the project’s aim is to ensure affordable and safe hair removal for trans women and non-binary people.

In an era of continued NHS failings and civil rights rollbacks, it’s important to be reminded of the power that lies in coming together as a community and working towards a common goal in our collective interest. Hateful policymakers and journalists can never take that away from us.

You can donate to the fundraiser here. We are also running LOVE ELECTRIC, a gig at Mono in Glasgow on Thursday 13th February, with pop, folk, punk, and drag artists. If you’re local, please come by to learn more about the project, and see some incredible live performers! I’m really excited for what’s going to be an amazing night.

Gig tickets are available here.
