@rebeccajanemorgan.bsky.socialIn 1958, four years after sensationally coming out, Roberta Cowell wrote an entirely forgotten second autobiographical series in Empire News. Read here for a breakdown of the key points and new revelations from the series! rebeccajanemorgan.substack.com/p/the-lost-s...
@rebeccajanemorgan.bsky.socialI'm also quite certain that a lot of these estrangements are actually parents disowning their children and then whining about the consequences.

@historyworkshop.org.ukReposted by @rebeccajanemorgan.bsky.socialCan the ideas of a controversial trans Marxist be recovered? Rebecca Jane Morgan on Rachael Webb's (1940-2009) class-based coalition politics.
@rebeccajanemorgan.bsky.socialThank you again for chairing, you did a fabulous job and it was a pleasure to meet you ❤️
@rebeccajanemorgan.bsky.socialI was really happy to be asked to write a piece for @historyworkshop.org.uk! This article looks at the activist career of Rachael Webb, a complicated and difficult figure in recent trans history who nevertheless had an incisive political analysis rooted in Marxism and trade unionism.
@heatherpaterson.co.ukReposted by @rebeccajanemorgan.bsky.socialWas a pleasure to host the conversation with @rebeccajanemorgan.bsky.social this evening about this history of trans activism in Britain for Festival of Debate - Thankyou Rebecca for highlighting stories and histories that are lesser known and some of the lessons that we can learn to apply today
@rebeccajanemorgan.bsky.socialReally excited for this!!
@rebeccajanemorgan.bsky.socialWould the US leave if an independent Greenlandic government demanded it? If the answer is 'No', then this is definitionally compromising sovereignty.

@rebeccajanemorgan.bsky.socialIt's already in the wrong hands my guy
@rebeccajanemorgan.bsky.socialHal strikes some ridiculous poses sometimes
@rebeccajanemorgan.bsky.socialI'll be talking about Deviants and Trailblazers at @fiveleavesbooks.bsky.social, Nottinghams's amazing independent progressive bookshop, on 4 October at 4.30 😊 Tickets available here!
@rebeccajanemorgan.bsky.socialHow did political interviews become a cesspool of "What do you say to people who say" weasel questions? Surely the only reasons you'd couch it that way are: 1. You're the one saying it and you don't want to admit that. 2. It would be embarrassing to mention who's saying it. 3. Nobody's saying it.
@rebeccajanemorgan.bsky.socialWe need another Ghostwatch-type thing! Proves that the terror is in the setup and storytelling.
@festofdebate.bsky.socialReposted by @rebeccajanemorgan.bsky.social📢 Excited to announce that @heatherpaterson.co.uk will be chairing our next event!
