about

recently the writer Suzanne Moore left the Guardian because hundreds of staff members wrote a letter questioning the tone the newspaper had taken on trans rights and pointing out that several trans women had resigned from the newspaper.

they pointed out that the newspaper was a toxic workplace and this, it seems, was too much for Suzanne Moore who resigned and wrote a piece claiming she was victimised by a letter which did not mention her by name. in this piece she spoke about the 'Body Of A Brazilian Transexual' incident from several years ago and openly lied about what happened.

at the time i responded to this by turning my now defunct label 'black circle records' over to trans voices under the sub series 'black circle gender fuck.' this release collects the work i produced regarding this incident. some of this is still available, some of it has been long out of print but it is all presented in an unedited format, exactly how it was released.

i have supplied the transcript of a twitter thread i wrote detailing her lies as part of the download as well as pictures of the physical releases for these items. i do not own many of these any longer as they have been archived by the british library and, as such, will outlive Moore's career.

this is part of a desire to archive and make available queer histories and to make visible and audible the invisible and silent. this does not represent my work as it stands now but this must not be forgoten.
