I did not submit something to Grist, unfortunately, but I would be interested in submitting a new story, were you to open something up.
Also, I have no particular interest in reading the stories that did get accepted, but I poked around the website a little bit and came across an interview that, I suspect, summarizes the whole endeavor pretty well.
The title is:
"In this writer’s vision of our climate future, trans girls are the only survivors"
The summary is:
"The only survivors are trans girls who are taking estrogen, which, it turns out, allows them to breathe underwater. They emerge from the destruction as human-coral hybrids . . ."
The author's answer to an interview question about what a "sustainable and just" world would look like:
"Because of COVID-related manufacturing and supply chain problems, there has been a hormone drought . . . I don’t want this drought, I want the abundance, I want the access, I want everything for us. I want the water to be literally hormone-ized. I want it to be as abundant as oxygen."
