The Betrayal of Thomas True (A.J. West) – A sort of whodunit set in Georgian London’s gay scene where Gabriel, the guard at Mother Clap's, must track down the rat who is feeding names to the Society for the Reformation of Manners and getting fellow Mollies murdered.

It's a fun thriller with a cute romance and some very hard to digest moments as we explore the underground Molly culture and 18th century London delving as far as a dash of folklore incarnate. It has its moments of queer solidarity, yet also our infighting and betrayal as suspects do what they can to avoid the noose.

Many lines struck a chord with me today, such as "It's innocence what kills you when yer different, not guilt" and "allies may shout the battlecry, but they'll never shed the blood."

Cover with an inverted etching of an 18th century London skyline at the bottom with images of a rat and a peacock.

A Short History of Trans Misogyny (Jules Gill-Peterson) – Between the Hijras under the British Raj, the genocide of two-spirit people by the US, and the persecution of transvesti in Latin America, this book demonstrates that the persecution of groups often now identified as trans massively predates the modern concept of trans women. This book outlines how deeply ingrained trans misogyny is in our society and its connections with aspects of class and race.

It's a vital and challenging read in outlining the inherent violence of trans misogyny, how broadly it impacts peoples swept up under medicalised labels, and how the broader gay rights movement abandoned those who started it.

The book's cover, featuring the face of a Black drag queen who appears in the experimental documentary film Tongues Untied

Holy fuck. So Confessions of the Fox by Jordy Rosenberg on the face of it is a re-imagining of the 18th century outlaw Jack Sheppard via a faux uncovered memoir revealing Jack to be a trans man. The text itself is "discovered" and edited by the author with numerous, very comedic footnotes. What starts out as translating a very long list of period slang for pussy begins to bleed into the narrative with metatextual discussions on gender, publishing, policing and capitalism. If you ever wanted a raunchy queer period drama with commentary that is one part stand-up, one part revolutionary treaties, then this is for you.

Cover of Confessions, showing an old etching of Jack chained in Newgate. Colourisation is slightly styled. Reviews state "a zingy romp", "A dazzling tale" and "funny and fierce"
