So we are starting our independent reading for the quarter, and I am wondering if there are any trans related books that would fit under the heading of contemperary adult fiction books.

Thanks

do you have a kindle or ebook reader because there are sites that have novels posted for free that would work but they are in electronic format. I particularly like Peaches, Sky and there are a couple others that I found on line that are TG fiction that I can't remember One is Tips and there is a sequel that is more of a college adult set novel.

Hope that helps,

Jessica

Natalie,

A quick look at Wikipedia Transgender Fiction came up with these titles

Stone Butch Blues

Inside Out: A Mystery

Luna

Choir Boy

Bye-Bye, Black Sheep: A Mommy-track Mystery

Parrotfish

The Butterfly and the Flame

All but the first (1993) and last (which may not yet have been released) have been published in the last 5-7 years and some have won awards.

If you go to the site it gives a little synopsis of each story and the ISBN number if you want to search any out.

Hugs

Chloë

I love The World According to Garp. Not a book about transfolk specifically, but a major character is trans and it is a wonderful book (it was also my first introduction to the idea that such a thing as transsexuality existed and I might be that...I believe I was 11 when I first read it).

luv

Gin

      Thanks Davie! And don’t worry, I didn’t take it that way. It’s just such a big topic I can only hope to tackle it one bit at a time.

      This is not uncommon.  I started out going to the therapist in androgynous clothing: from the women's department, but plausibly masculine.  What made it easier was when I started going to a trans peer support group.  Most of the people there were presenting fully feminine, so I looked out of place in my androgynous clothing.  The peer pressure made it easier to dress in skirts.   I started out changing in a gender-neutral bathroom near the meeting room.  But I soon started wearing skirts in the car to and from the meetings.   Yes, it was nerve-wracking at first, but I soon realized that no one was looking and no one cared.    You can do this.

      In my last session my therapist is starting to suggest that I need to start exploring my gender identity in a more tangible way through wearing feminine clothing at least during sessions.  I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around her seeing me actually en femme.   I love and trust her, but the thought of being visibly feminine is scaring (and thrilling) me.  Is this a common thing in gender therapy?  How do I get past the fear?  More importantly, what should I wear?

      USA doctors denounce Cass Report, support trans folks.  The Endocrine Society And American Academy Of Pediatrics Respond To Cass, Reject Bans. In recent weeks, the Cass Review out of the United Kingdom has been used to argue for bans on care. The Endocrine Society and American Academy of Pediatrics respond, rejecting such arguments. —Erin Reed https://www.erininthemorning.com/p/endocrine-society-and-american-academy?publication_id=994764&post_id=144592467&isFreemail=true&r=rebf4&triedRedirect=true

      I felt the urge to date and felt just like a teenager again. I have recorded my journal titled Ashley's Life From Start to Present. I was very moody and agitated and happy. I think it was my body's way of being in shock. After about two months it got better. Remember that you aren't the only one transitioning because your wife is too. Consider yourself lucky because I lost mine because of it and so have many others. Just enjoy the ride.

      I'm sorry for asking so many questions about your situation. I'm in your camp and believe you should be able to be whoever you feel you need to be. I guess it the Union Shop Stewart coming out in me. I want you to be treated fairly as well as respectably. You're human, you're a client of theirs. Especially if you're paying money to be there.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I'm not sure the time frame.

      Views, terminology, and aspects of how events came to be....aren't those directly related to the news item?  If not, I'm rather confused.

      Second warning, this has gotten far and apart from the NEWS item that it started out with and is becoming a flat out battleground over political leanings and terminology.
