Welcome to Litsy!

Thought-provoking personal essays, mostly surrounding Andrea Bennett‘s experiences as a nonbinary person who gave birth & breastfed their child. Other topics include their quest for gender-neutral kinship terms; bipolar disorder; how we understand wellness as something individual rather than connected to social conditions; disrespect by medical professionals; & the CanLit implosion after UBC fired Galloway for misconduct. #LGBTQ #enby

Every week, I'm highlighting #lgbtqauthors. 🏳️‍🌈 It's easy to see from their website that Ash Van Otterloo is a highly personable, imaginative person with outdoorsy and nerdy hobbies and great literary taste in their pets' names. Their next book, A Touch of Ruckus, comes out next year. #lgbtq #nonbinary #enby #ownvoices #lgbtqvoices #diversifyyourbookshelf
