It's not like anyone is trying to harm trans people. Why do they deserve all these special rights others don't have.

They still haven't released the Nashville shooter manifesto! And I guess they never will. Even Trump won't release it.

“Fiction Writers Endorse Fiction”

"Roxane Gay, David Baldacci, Gillian Flynn, Louise Penny, and many more."

I've never read any of the books from those that are named. I'd like to know who the "many more" are so I can stop reading their books, if, in fact, I've read any of them.

I love how writers of fiction all seem to be writing novels set in the universe that liberals think exists. AGW, etc. Can’t imagine why they’d want to alienate half their audience unless somebody’s slipping them enough Benjamins under the table that it’s worth it.

Hopefully no federal money finds its way to these clowns.

The publishers censor anyone who is not hard core leftist/pervert.

Gillian Flynn wrote the book Gone Girl that was made into a big movie. David Baldacci is kind of like the second string version of John Grisham. Loise Penny is Canadian, but I don't know anything else about here. Roxanne Gay specialize in woke writing.

Great source of stories, which they will write about and turn into great moneymakers for themselves.

You know... vultures.

Who cares what crime writers think? Why don’t they ever ask what energy industry workers think?

They don’t like seeing their new line of inspiration disappear? Murder mysteries with surgeons getting knocked off by unhappy gender fakers, confusing perpetrators whose DNA says one thing so that they’re hiding in plain sight, etc.

Sometime they censor their own. I remember in the 2010s they got angry at a YA book, that was trying to be P.C., because it had green aliens, which apparently is anti-black racism.

Crime writers come together in support of trans rights.

Like lawyers they know that fringe people have big backers that end up helping their agendas.

Even D.C. is a hot house of whores.

Well, for what it's worth, women buy the vast majority of books today.

It's a real shame men stopped reading.

These are dire times. Human rights, and especially those of the mentally ill to change society to their demented lifestyles.

These people fundamentally lack respect for others.

Actually, we just want to get help for these mentally ill people, not celebrate their mental illness.

My guess is that C.J. Box will not be indorsing this group.

> Can’t imagine why they’d want to alienate half their audience

Because fiction writers don’t write for readers. They write for editors, publishers, and book reviewers. If you’re a fiction writer selling your work to traditional mainstream publishers, there is no surer way to kill your career as a writer than by coming out as — gasp! — a conservative!
