Show Notes
Queerly Autistic author, Erin Ekins, from Basildon, Essex, faces a setback as her book is removed from a school library. The book, exploring identity and relationships, was pulled alongside classics like Nineteen Eighty-Four and Twilight during a content audit. Ekins, who wrote the book to spark real talks on gender, sexuality, sex, and consent, finds the news devastating. The school maintains no ban, merely age-appropriate book sorting, but Ekins remains resolute, believing education on these topics empowers individuals in navigating identity.
