MEETQT is a poetry club for queer, trans & questioning writers - the queer poetry meet of your dreams!

this edition of the online poetry night will be raising funds for gender-affirming top surgery for Charley, MEETQT co-founder.

"Charley identifies as trans-nonbinary and we use they/them and he/him pronouns talking about him. He struggles with chest dysphoria, and has been saving up for this expensive but life-changing quality of life procedure, but they can't get there alone! While we need institutional change, for now, we hope we can make a difference through mutual aid for the special trans folks of our lives."

100% of ticket sales will go towards trans healthcare, and we'll also provide links to other fundraisers on the night.

The event will be held on Zoom and hosted by queer poet T.S. IDIOT

T.S. IDIOT
https://tomstockley.weebly.com/ts-idiot.html
These are the strangely sad and sadly strange words of T.S. IDIOT, a queer poet and artist once deemed to be in very poor taste by their hometown council. These are words on queerness, on class, on love and loss and finding what we can congealed in the cracks of every day life.
