Good day! One of the things I wanted to start around here is a monthly get-together to get to know each other and chat about what we please. I'm going to try to make this every first Friday of each month. In the future I might devise more specific themes, but for this round I'd love to do an almost friending-meme sort of post. For everyone who doesn't want to post a separate post for an introduction, please come here!
Otherwise, free for all! Got trans artists & art to recommend? Want to share your own? Want to talk transition? Got fun anecdotes to share? Go on to your heart's content!

Date: 2022-12-03 01:01 pm (UTC)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.

That sounds absolutely delightful. Taking notes!
