The New Yorker’s latest cover is a huge slap in the face for censorship

The New Yorker August 2025 cover by Amy Sherald.

The New Yorker is known for its iconic covers, from the elegant to the provocative, but its latest design might be my favourite yet. Featuring Amy Sherald’s 'Trans Forming Liberty', the bold design is both an evocative piece of art and an important statement on trans visibility.

The best magazine covers often spark conversation through stripped-back yet striking visuals, and Sherald's design is no different. With its beautiful, expressive design, it captures the tension of our society with elegant poise, giving voice and representation to trans people in a crucial time of political unrest.
