Mx Sly

2024 LAMBDA LITERARY AWARD FINALIST

Mx. Sly (they/them) is a non-binary writer, performer, arts producer, and flight attendant.

Their first memoir, TRANSLAND: Consent, Kink & Pleasure, is a finalist for a 2024 Lambda Literary Award in the Transgender Non-Fiction category. When Sly isn’t in the sky, they run the arts collective Tender Container, which is developing Canada’s first all–trans and non-binary performance anthology for Playwrights Canada Press.
