Trans and Disabled

An Anthology of Identities and Experiences
Format
Regular price £14.99
Regular price Sale price £14.99
To be trans and disabled means to have experienced harassment, discrimination, loneliness, often poverty, to have struggled with feeling unworthy of love.

To be trans and disabled means experiencing ableism within our trans communities and transphobia within our disabled communities.

To be trans and disabled means to love our fellow trans and disabled people harder than we could ever love ourselves.

This anthology brings together vulnerable stories, poems, plays, drawings, and personal essays. They explore how we make sense of ourselves, our intersections of identities and experiences, of how we are treated, and how much love we are capable of, sometimes even for ourselves.

Press Reviews

  • NetGalley Reviewer

    Wow. This was such an excellent collection of essays, poems, stories and plays. It really captured what it's like to navigate the world as a trans and disabled person and made me feel seen, really really seen, for the first time in my life. I felt understood and validated in my transness and disabled-ness. I think this would be a great read for others like me but also people who have someone who's trans and disabled in their life, to help them to better understand what that experience can be like."

    I have never read anything like this in my life. There is a kind of invisibility that Trans and Disabled (and Black) folks are forced to experience, and as a result, their lives, stories, and experiences are kept out of the purview of those who would most benefit from understanding them. This book is important to me as I continue "coming to terms" with my disabled identity, and as someone who deeply cares about people with different bodyminds and lived experiences. It offers a window into the worlds we often don't see, while also serving as a mirror for those of us who live in the margins, validating our existence and struggles. This is more than just a book-it's an invitation to listen, learn, and reflect on what it means to truly be seen.
