MODERATORS
Whipping Girl early in my transition. It was really eye opening to read about the possibility of my trans identity being something other than a source of shame. It was the birth of my trans feminist path
Further along, Detransition Baby. That one hit me really hard. Close to home in some ways, but even when it wasn't, it felt authentic. Trans literature for a trans audience.
I love literature for and by trans people. The first time I really felt seen in that way was when I read Small Beauty by Jia Qing Wilson-Yang. You can just tell that it was written by a trans woman with lived experience. Trans stories written by cis people just have different vibes.
