In partnership with Gay Community News So, who's your favourite Irish trans writer? For a small demographic, trans people are a very big subject in Irish journalism and literature. Yet rarely, if ever, do we hear from trans writers themselves. The Small Trans Library has demonstrated an appetite for trans fiction in Ireland, while the Trans Writers' Union has confirmed that Irish trans writers are out there. So why is there such a lack of established Irish trans writers? Irish trans writers Aoife Martin, Kit Fryatt and Fiona Leigh discuss with James Hudson the pleasures of trans writing and the realities of doing so in Ireland. Obstacles and inhibitions will come to light, but moreover, they will focus on the inimitable qualities of trans writing, the solidarity found among marginalised writers, and the diversity of writing created by Irish trans writers in the country and beyond. Together, let's find out who your favourite Irish trans writer is.
