Recently I was feeling very positive about the large number of trans people who are finalists for the Hugos this year. But that’s not the only area in which trans writers are achieving success. Last weekend the winners of the Kitchies were announced. In the Golden Tentacle (debut) category I spotted two trans people that I know. And one of them won!

Congratulations, then, to Alex Acks who is not only the person who provides the best live commentary from the WSFS Business meteing, but can now call themself an award winning author. Hunger Makes the Wolf is a fun book. I’m looking forward to reading the sequel.
