Most of yesterday was spent either on social media or on the phone. It was a relief to have an excuse to get out of the house and go and listen to Juliet Jacques, who was in Bristol as part of the Festival of Ideas. Juliet has a new book out: Trans: A Memoir. Those of you who enjoyed her Transgender Journey columns in The Guardian will love this too. She’s a sharp, incisive and often very witty writer. And she hasn’t done the traditional trans autobiography thing by any means.

My thanks to Juliet for a great evening, and to Andrew and Zoe of the Festival of Ideas for putting on a very successful trans-themed event.
