It’s pretty funny to be called “elite” for supporting trans people by a cigar-smoking, champagne-swilling, yacht-owning billionaire, but hey, why shouldn’t we all bow to the opinion of someone not trans, not queer, not a doctor, not a scientist, but who’s really really rich?

Looking forward to joining you all at Biggar Library in November for some STICKY MILDRED and I AM WOLF fun! @librariessl.bsky.social @walkerbooksuk.bsky.social @nosycrow.bsky.social #IAmWolf #StickyMildred #BiggarLibrary
