Trans Futures Now: A Queer Guided Journal On Finding Your Allies, Demanding Liberation, And Using Your Voice (Finding Yourself; Fighting Transphobia And The Gender Binary; Lgbt Issues) (Ages 14-18)

After decades of sharing advice on how to best fit into a world not made for people with our bodies and identities, the transgender community has reached a position where we can--nay, need--to imagine a world in the not-too-far-off future where trans people don't need to strategically frame our experiences to achieve acceptance. One may dare to say the ability for trans people to fully secure our rights and liberation is dependent on us living our authentic lives and carving out spaces for our futures. While laying a foundation of the ways that the movement for trans rights has yet to allow trans and nonbinary people to live with freedom, this book provides an intersectional framework with which to structure the future of the trans liberation movement. The overall message tells trans readers that they, too, can find joy and invites all to creatively imagine a world that fully embraces trans lives. Each chapter shares anecdotes from Milo Stewart's personal life, lessons from trans history and interviews with gender creatives of all identities. Topics vary from how to care for our trans siblings in community, how trans and nonbinary people are transitioning outside of the mold, to how to be in solidarity with intersex justice and gender creative communities globally, and how to achieve trans liberation. Each chapter builds upon a component of what trans freedom looks like in one's personal life and in the rights that we demand. Young trans people can read to see that "Yes, you will find love and community even if you want surgery but not hormones," and trans people who have been forced to advocate for their rights can find inspiration on ways that the movement can progress forward.
