I’m not entirely exaggerating when I say this is the first fully creative thing I’ve done since the accident. I’ve done creative things but this is the first time an idea has come to me and I’ve had enough residual energy to start making it. That’s huge for me. Exhausting, but huge

Three years ago, Judith Butler predicted in a Guardian interview that β€œgender-critical” feminists would not be part of the fight against fascism. This caused a massive β€œGC” backlash, prompting The Guardian to censor the interview. And yet here they now are, definitively proving Butler correct.
