Final #MilesforMermaids update. I reached 50 miles, most of them alone. But as Sondheim wrote - no one is alone. Thank you to everyone who walks beside me, literally and metaphorically. www.justgiving.com/page/mo-moul... Cartoon on the EHRC's effort to isolate trans people by Ella Baron.

#MilesForMermaids update 4: 43.2 miles. It's been a week of anticipated but still grim news for trans people in the UK. I'm still walking and raising money for trans youth: www.justgiving.com/page/mo-moul... Highlights: a post-writing-retreat Birmingham ramble, a pre-scorcher morning walk..

#MilesForMermaids the agony & the ecstasy edition. The agony: I got off at the wrong stop on my way to a medical appointment and walked 6 miles. Metaphor?? The ecstasy: 7 miles on the North Yorkshire coast, with Italian Gardens in the colours of the trans flag. www.justgiving.com/page/mo-moul...

#MilesForMermaids update. Current total: 18.5 miles done. This week was a mix of walking to various things (trains, a book meet up, the gym) and a nice five mile loop in the sun this morning.

#MilesforMermaids report: today I did the Stride for Pride with 𝙔𝘼𝙎 𝘽𝙀𝘼𝙉, the most amazing coffeeshop, plus some other walking for a total of 5.3 miles. I saw half of an eggshell. What a metaphor. My genius birder friend says maybe it's from a bluetit. www.justgiving.com/page/mo-moul...

Grateful to RHEA in Brussels for 'Trans Bodies as a Site of Resistance.' We need resistance, to segregation and anti-scientific gatekeeping and to structures of racism, xenophobia, misogyny, and classism. The UK is an outlier right now in rolling back rights but a lot of the struggle is the same.

Queer history is everywhere, including Leamington Spa. At Warwickshire Pride's LGBT History Month we heard about regional pride, networks of queer publishing and the ever-wonderful Ladies of Llangollen. I spoke on trans history in the West Mids. Local queer community is everything, especially now.
