The day after a group of cisgender women authors released a transphobic open letter condemning the Women's Prize for Fiction for nominating trans female writer Torrey Peters for its annual award, the U.K. organization behind the Women's Prize responded and did not mince words.
“The prize is firmly opposed to any form of discrimination on the basis of race, age, sexuality, gender identity and all other protected characteristics, and deplores any attempts to malign or bully the judges or the authors,” they wrote in a statement on Twitter.
