Quotation of the Day

[shewhomust]

I want to be very clear. None of my books has "turned" young people into lesbians, gay men, bi people or trans folk. If books had that power, I would stand before you a very hungry caterpillar.

Yes, I know, it's not an exact parallel - but so nicely put!

Happy to share ...

No book I ever read 'turned' me trans but a few books certainly helped me understand it!

[shewhomust]

I thought so - which is why it's hnot an exact parallel. But it's a shame to spoil a good line ...
