Recs if you like The Terrible We: Thinking with Trans Maladjustment (ASTERISK)...

Poetry books written by trans, genderqueer, two spirit + writers.

Recommendations encouraged 🏳️‍⚧️🫶⚧️

memoirs, anthologies, graphic novels etc. - anything goes as long as it's nonfiction about the trans & queer experience

my attempt at collecting queer books so our history doesn't become lost + to hopefully interest others within it too.

*please note I'd love recommendations on works i may have missed!!

Poetry written by Black and/or African writers! Emphasis on intersectionality.

This list is by no means exhaustive, but offers many in-roads to studying gender more deeply. Books on this list range from more popular to more academic. There are also a few biographies / memoirs from influential activists and scholars. Lots of these books sit at the intersection of gender studies and Black studies, political theory, and history.
