An illustration of a woman with long hair in a plait reading a book and holding a cup of coffee. There is a trans flag behind her and black text that says "read more trans books!"

Let's share our favourite books with trans chacters and written by trans authors, so we can all find our next reads.

I'll share mine in the comments.

I tell you because my weak flat skinny hairy body will never fit your woman you should be defending me (didn’t you always claim to defend me?) but I get the feeling you view me as a threat am I a blade? am I a huge problem? what is it about me that terrifies you?

Transphobia is violent. Separating us based on our apparent biology is oppression and I hope you all join me in vocalising support for trans women.

I will be a huge problem and that's a promise 🏳️‍⚧️

Resources to help Trans Allies take action Trans people are being attacked around the world right now, and it is about time trans allies stepped up and took action. Here are some resources to help.

Our trans friends & family need us. We have to step up our game.

I've put together a few resources to help you take action, including links to petitions, free images to use on social media, and a call to be loud right now.
