A week ago trans Twitter blew up because another gendercide book was announced where demons disappear and torture everyone with a "y" chromosome because they're "evil." (Yup, the actual premise of the book). The author insisted that trans people were dealt with in a respectful manner (despite not identifying as trans, and only hiring one trans sensitivity reader). Ana Mardoll, the author of No Man of Woman Born (which I highly recommend) obtained an advanced copy and did a play-by-play of how Sandra's depictions of trans people was definitely transphobic.

A lesbian author, Lauren Hough, took to Twitter to slander Ana and xer review (unread, it would seem) and attacked trans people reacting to it. As a result, Lambda Literary announced it would not consider Hough's book for a Lammy Award. Mainstream media like The New York Times caught wind of this and reported a cis-centered and ill-researched article about Lauren Hough "losing" a nomination she never had without interviewing a single trans person.

This educomic will explain how disappearing everyone with a "y" chromosome in a book called "The Men" is transphobic in and of itself, give a little biology tutorial, discuss some of the things Ana covered in xer review, and talk about the ridiculousness and irresponsibility of the articles that came out afterward, focusing on The New York Times (although tons of avenues participated, including The Literary Hub). Read more in the educomic.
