Community for trans and non-binary folk to band together and break free from the oppressive shackles of cis-heteronormative capitalism. Or shitpost and converse with each other. Just stay comfy, y'all. :)

Asking trans and non-binary related questions is highly encouraged by our community, but please direct all questions to c/askchapo. <3

~~I can't find a free copy online (y'all are more than welcome to take a second look) and I feel horrible asking others to buy it. If enough people are interested in the group reading of trans literature but can't afford the book, we could do a group reading of Leslie Feinberg's Stone Butch Blues, which is free here but it's not as radicalizing or theory oriented as I'd like.~~

I... uh... found... a free copy on LibGen. Get your epub copy here.

FIRST MEGATHREAD GOES UP ON SATURDAY, OCTOBER 24TH. GET TO READING, LIBS. TAKE NOTES AND COME READY TO DISCUSS.


The book is 147 pages. We're all busy and some of us (and by this I mean me) are slow readers, so I'm thinking we have three megathreads in !transenby_liberation over the course of three weeks. ~50 pages of the book each week. I'd open a megathread each Saturday morning where we could drop notes, quotes, or discuss things that opened our eyes, educated us, or inspired/motivated us.

Everyone would be welcome, not just trans and enby comrades. I'm personally open to answering any questions that cis comrades have about our own lived experiences throughout the reading and I encourage other trans and enby comrades to be open as well, if they feel comfortable; absolutely no pressure though!

I think this could be an incredible opportunity for us to have an open, educational dialogue with our cis comrades to better educate them on what trans rights entail and how best to support trans and non-binary folk.

I hope I'm not being too idealistic with all of this. Let me know what y'all think and we can go from there, I suppose. I'm more than open to suggestions on how to handle all of this too.
