Stephen King and Margaret Atwood are among the signatories to an open letter offering support to the trans and non-binary communities of the US and Canada, as a bitter divide over trans rights continues to split the literary world.
The message from writers and members of the US literary community follows a similar letter from authors in the UK and Ireland. Both letters come in the wake of a fierce row over JK Rowling’s comments on trans rights, including her comment that “if sex isn’t real, the lived reality of women globally is erased”.
On 30 September, more than 200 British and Irish writers including Jeanette Winterson and Malorie Blackman sent “a message of love and solidarity for the trans and non-binary community”. A day later, more than 1,500 names in the publishing world joined them in asserting that “non-binary lives are valid, trans women are women, trans men are men, trans rights are human rights”.
The US letter, has been signed by more than 1,200 members of the literary community, including Roxane Gay, Neil Gaiman, John Green, NK Jemisin and Angie Thomas.
“We are writers, editors, journalists, agents, and professionals in multiple forms of publishing. We believe in the power of words. We want to do our part to help shape the curve of history toward justice and fairness,” they write. “To that end, we say: non-binary people are non-binary, trans women are women, trans men are men, trans rights are human rights. Your pronouns matter. You matter. You are loved.”
Author Maureen Johnson, who initiated the letter, said that while “letters do not fix things”, they are “designed to a) show support and b) bring awareness to an issue. In this case, the issue is transphobia in the publishing discourse and community.”
“When JK got involved in [the debate in the UK over transgender rights] it gave a lot of legitimacy to something that before seemed fringey. It became more accepted, because people know JK from Harry Potter,” Johnson told Publishers Weekly on Thursday. “Sometimes you need to put your name on the line and say, ‘I don’t agree with what’s going on.’”
After Rowling included a serial killer who occasionally wears women’s clothing to lure his victims in her new crime novel Troubled Blood, she was subjected to online attacks. Writers including Lionel Shriver and Ian McEwan put their names to a letter in the Times supporting Rowling in the face of “an onslaught of abuse that highlights an insidious authoritarian and misogynistic trend in social media”.
The letter supporting Rowling was also signed by star names including Tom Stoppard, John Cleese and Tony Robinson, with more than 18,000 people signing a public online petition.
Thanks for posting.
Do we have a link for the letter? Was it printed somewhere?

Writer makes basic factual comment.
Left hemisphere goes REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.
I suppose the important thing is that everyone has fun at the circus.
...one has only to master a greatly slowed version of Homer's hedge withdrawal...
She's an intelligent woman speaking for herself - sounds like you might be sexist.
She stated factual harmful consequences to women (an actual group of people) of the choices made by the trans community (an imaginary group of people) and those that acquiesce to its demands in the name of "rights" deriving from their lived fiction.
Damaging the social environment for women - what you might call "biological women" or "people with vaginas" - has become an essential pillar of the trans movement. So much for supporting rights and opposing hate.
The trans community will forever find itself bedeviled by the twin brick walls of A) reality and B) other people who recognize reality. That's life outside the circus tent.
[cue the repetitive and/or grammar-challenged negative rep in 3...2...1...]
...one has only to master a greatly slowed version of Homer's hedge withdrawal...
Wow, that was fast! Whoever it was (these people never identify themselves) gets points for swift fingers at least.
...one has only to master a greatly slowed version of Homer's hedge withdrawal...
Just to get this out of the way, st. Troy and a few others (kingfan24 said “I agree” to one of his rants) have already admitted in the SK Twitter thread to being proud transphobes, with Troy even calling trans women mentally ill in another thread. It’s fairly obvious now but there was a lot of hemming and hawing about political correctness before with people trying to distract from the topic.
Also calling out a woman for saying something bigoted doesn’t make you sexist anymore than calling out a gay person for saying something bigoted makes you a homophobe. Talk about a bad faith argument.
Another bad faith argument is acting like Rowling got backlash for saying something innocuous like “women menstruate”. She wrote an entire manifesto about her views.
A hound will die for you, but never lie to you. And he'll look you straight in the face.

True, but she did say and it wasn't innocuous, because not just women menstruate. Trans men and non-binary people menstruate too. That's why the article was correctly phrasing it as "people who menstruate" which got her all bothered.
It would be funny watching someone who obviously knows nothing of trans issues write at length about their ignorance if it wasn't so toxic and harmful.
Trans men are born with functioning female parts but are men. This is Buck Angel. Now what would happen if HE tried to go into a woman's room?
By the way Trans Women of color are murdered at an alarming rate. I know this kills two birds with one stone for you, Nick but it's not right and rhetoric such as yours contribute to it. You know as well as I do that science changes over time with regard to such issues. Homosexuals were lobotomized and considered mentally ill up until the 1970s. Science, especially biological science needs room to grow instead of stagnate.
And I know that won't change a brittle mind but just use the mantra "alternative facts, alternative facts, alternative facts...." to help you get through your terribly hard life.
It's also a fact that you failed to read the part where I said "Trans men and non-binary people menstruate too". This is also a scientific fact, because trans men have ovaries. If you mean trans women don't menstruate, that is correct. But also nobody has ever said that. But obviously trans men do, and calling them women is transphobic, because it denies their identity.
Any idea of where this picture originated?
It kind of looks like it's from the AMEX ad, but it isn't actually.
Any ideas?

I checked before posting. And it's not from this ad. I thought it was, but no. Maybe a photoshoot before/after the ad (?)
