Otter is a working-class trans woman, an author and grassroots community organiser.
Novels
Otter is best known for her transfeminist speculative fiction novels centring marginalised experiences in powerful, deeply diverse resistance movements.
Queer Ecology
As a trans woman and an ecologist, Otter has written extensively about queerness in non-human nature. There’s something about knowing that there are lesbian lizards in the world and orgies of gay manatees and polyamorous oystercatchers and trans clownfish and bisexual red deer and masturbating baboons and kissing zebras that just gives her hope.
Organising
Otter has been a grassroots organiser for over two decades in Europe, the Middle-East and Latin America with a particular focus on the intersection of gender, queerness and environmental struggles. In 2019, she founded Trans Feminism International, organising to meet the material needs of trans women.
Articles and interviews
As an organiser and writer, Otter also writes non-fiction articles about class, gender and queerness. Check out Medium for more of her work and listen to some of her interviews.
