We recommend everyone read Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s essay and form their own opinion about it. At LGB Alliance we consider it a beautiful, nuanced essay, full of important insights & not at all “transphobic”, a word that in our view has been drained of significance by overuse.
We are deeply disappointed to see Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s transphobic essay about non-binary writer Akwaeke Emezi & other Nigerian trans writers.
Misgendering trans & non-binary people is always transphobic and always unacceptable.
