Is contemporary literature—and storytelling in general—helping to address the accelerating climate and nature crisis, or adding fuel to the fire? Tens of thousands of articles in literary and cultural criticism have approached this question primarily through close readings of environmentally focused novels and films, but this methodology cannot provide a much-needed macro perspective.

The accessibility to health insurance-funded gender-affirming hormone therapy in Germany is of central importance to many trans* people for their health, safety, and life trajectories. However, the decision about whether they can take hormones through the regular care-system is not in their hands but rather depends on various actors and institutions in the medical, psychotherapeutic, and political sectors.
