Hello! I'm Kit, I'm trans-masc and I use he/him pronouns, and I live in the UK. Three pieces of trans media which are on my mind:
1) This poem, Ode to Trucking Company Names That Include 'Trans' by Dri Chiu Tattersfield, which came across my Tumblr dashboard this morning.
2) The Machineries of Empire series by Yoon Ha Lee (a trans queer author), which I'm on the third book of. Not a book series about being trans, by any means, but queer characters of all stripes occupy important roles throughout. (It's a science fiction series about war and imperialism and morally compromised people, so keep that in mind, but that's exactly why I like it.)
3) From The Inside Out: Radical Gender Transformation, FTM and Beyond edited by Morty Diamond. I ordered this a month ago and it hasn't arrived yet, but I saw extracts of it posted on Tumblr and it struck me. I love reading trans voices in this kind of thing; I devoured We Both Laughed In Pleasure a year or two ago, and Now You See Me: Lesbian Life Stories, which also includes accounts of gender variance and non-conformity from older lesbians in the UK.
