Understand the LGBTQIA+ headlines and keep track of the latest queer content and perspectives. QueerAF is written by Jamie Wareham and another queer creative each week.
💬 This week:
- Asda: Putting community journalism into practice, we helped a QueerAF reader get answers from the supermarket brand that'd repeatedly deadnamed them alongside a transphobic incident in a store.
- Trans suicides: The government responded to our journalism with an independent report and called our reporting irresponsible - we point out the hypocrisy in the argument they make against us reporting on their failures.
- Self-determination: It's a key principle of feminism, but one so-called 'trans exclusionary radical feminists' have forgotten. We take it back to the basics in the Queer Gaze.
Skip the doomscrolling and support queer creatives instead. We are QueerAF – and so are you.
Asda apologises for transphobic card, deadnaming and in-store incident
TL;DR: QueerAF reader Sasha Swift faced in-store harassment and continued deadnaming after complaining about the transphobia they faced in an Asda store. In response, Asda apologised for the deadnaming and for the offence caused by an old greeting card, offering to hold a meeting with the victim and senior leadership.
