Themes

In Plainspeak publishes one issue every month, with a single theme running across two months. Our aim is to expand safe, inclusive self-affirming spaces.

CURRENT ISSUE:

October 2024: Gender and Sexuality

Rage. Gender and sexuality are like constituent parts of a jigsaw puzzle that keeps morphing in such a way that nothing ever ‘fits’ for long, and the game begins anew each time. For some, that’s the never-ending joy and fun of it. For others, the game must have strict rules, the pieces cut to fit just so, everything neat and tidy, confined to its place. Does, and should, real life work like that? Quite simply, no. A predictable world in which everyone is ‘kept in their place’ and obeys the rules around gender and sexuality serves the interests of only one master, patriarchy, and his favoured few. Which is exactly what all our contributors to the October 2024 issue of In Plainspeak conclude.

UPCOMING ISSUE:

November 2024: Gender and Sexuality
