Welcome to Litsy!

"If you are a trans girl who knows many other trans girls, you go to church a lot, because church is where they hold the funerals."

Beautiful, powerful story. Told with grace, clarity, and a total lack of fear or self-pity.

Goetsch does the thing nearly all writers try to do but few succeed at - she tells her own unique story in a way that makes it universal. Very brave story of a person trying to understand themselves. Especially powerful to me since her struggles came at a time when there was so little knowledge, language, and awareness around gender identity.

I love this cover and the pages! I‘m excited for the story too!

funny to read this in the middle seat of a packed flight shuttling a Methodist church group. Smart AND fun, a rare feat for a novel these days!! Clearly a debut (stilted dialogue, esp early on), but delivers on its impressive ambitions. What I took away from this is that motherhood, like all expectations of womanhood, simultaneously dehumanizes and humanizes. The only way women become people is by giving ourselves over to the care of another.

In response to the UK Supreme Court's ruling today against the rights of trans people to exist, I've written the following to my MP (see in comments). I'd ask British Littens of good conscience to write to their own MP in support of our trans fellow citizens.
