Welcome to yet another installment of Trans Book Club! Up to now, we’ve been looking primarily at fiction, but today we’re venturing into memoir with what is not only my favorite trans memoir, but one of my favorite books in general. Venture below to read more!
Continue reading “Trans Book Club: Sorted, by Jackson Bird”Greetings, friends, and welcome to another installment of Trans Book Club! Today we’re going to be looking at the imaginative and affirming YA novel Euphoria Kids, by Alison Evans.

Continue reading “Trans Book Club: Euphoria Kids”Greetings, friends. In the interest of posting some actual content on this blog, I thought it might be fun to start going through the multitude of trans-related books I have in my possession and saying a thing or two about them. Most of the trans books I’ve read over the last year or so have been memoir, but today we’re going to be delving into one of the few fiction offerings I’ve sampled: a wild and wonderful trans reimagining of Peter Pan called Peter Darling.

Continue reading “Pansy Crewe and the Mystery at the Antiques Roadshow”Because I apparently don’t have enough to do with all my other projects, I also recently started work on a vegan cookbook, this one designed to highlight (a) how very bad I am at vegan cooking and (b) how you can potentially avoid my mistakes. The idea hit me while I was in the shower, as many (sometimes questionable) ideas do, and I’ve been having … Continue reading Books, books, books!
