💬 This week:
- Gender Wars. The new Channel 4 documentary has been called out by trans contributors, who feel their trust was betrayed by filmmakers.
- Target. Since the retailer pulled its Pride merch, things have only gotten stranger. We’ve got the updates on this moving target (ahem) of a story.
- Pride Month. Not all LGBTQIA+ folks are excited about this time of year. Ugla Stefanía Kristjönudóttir Jónsdóttir shares their feelings of trepidation in the Queer Gaze.
Skip the doom scrolling and support queer creatives instead. We are QueerAF – and so are you.

It focuses heavily on ‘gender critical’ academic Kathleen Stock and perpetuates narratives of trans people being a danger to women.
