I'm not into young adult books so I haven't read it - all I know is that's the first book about a trans character (and trans man character!) written by a trans author, and that it won a bunch of awards.


Stealth: A Transmasculine Podast

https://www.transmasculinepodcast.com/

"Stealth: A Transmasculine Podcast (STP) is a podcast that captures the stories of transmasculine elders who transitioned before (or around) the year 2000. Transitioning, for the purposes of our show, includes all forms of social and medical transitioning. We value the background and experiences of our transmasculine community, and want to provide a space for those of us who are often overlooked."


Transmasc Stories

"TransMascStories is a resource for trans men and trans masculine individuals that highlights resilience, provides perspective, and inspires. Explore anonymous transition stories of others or share your story to pay it forward."


CISN'T

https://surkea.itch.io/cisnt

"CISN'T is 68 pages long (incl.covers) and during it I visit some past memories, but I mostly focus on my transition process with its ups and downs. The comics overall mood jumps from serious to funny every now and then, and the cartoony style softens even the roughest parts of it. There's lots of emotions in this comic. Vulnerability, anxiety, desperation, disappointment, but also hope, happiness, and even some gender euphoria! If you enjoy reading comic diaries, you're probably going to enjoy this comic too. Even if you're not trans, you might learn a thing or two from CISN'T."

Catch up with your old graduating class and maybe learn a thing or two about yourself in a hilarious weekend romp at a posh vineyard. What could possibly go wrong?

New Hampshire’s James Roesener becomes first out transgender man elected to state legislature

#article #USpol #activism #trans man

https://19thnews.org/2022/11/james-roesener-trans-man-new-hampshire-state-legislature/

"Kylar Broadus, founder of the Trans People of Color Coalition, is not surprised that so few trans men have been elected into office, due to the broader lack of societal resources and support for them. More support is needed for employment and in medical care, he said, as well as political support, plus support within the LGBTQ+ rights movement.

“Historically, resources and news about trans men have always been on the back burner,” he said. LGBTQ+ organizations should dedicate more support to trans men, he said, and diversity within the movement should be prioritized — including supporting candidates of color across all gender identities."


‘When do we get to shine?’ Black trans men discuss leadership, self-love and showing up for themselves

"Moseley said it’s hard for transgender people, especially trans men, to be accepted within the overall queer community. Gay cisgender men can be especially hostile, he said."

Alex Santiago said that he feels like he was naive to believe that the LGBTQ+ community would be there to protect him and stand up for him — and that it’s often been the opposite. His straight, cisgender male friends have defended him more strongly by telling strangers not to misgender him in public."


Being Asian and transmasculine was ‘a revolutionary act.’ Now he’s a model for what’s possible.

"“We’re still fighting those stereotypes around the idea that we should be accommodating to others, that we should be behind the scenes, that there’s less room for us to assert ourselves,” he said. Wilkinson wants young transmasculine Asian people to know that they should be themselves and celebrate who they are, even if they are not feeling celebrated by the world around them."


Ultraviolents

Another weird comic from a very talented creator! This one's about an underground brawler with cybernetic protheses, his handler/enabler/lover, and the bizarre transhumanist sort of world they live in.


SUPERPOSE

#fiction #webcomic #scifi #ensemble #m/m #mature

https://superpose.superposecomic.com/

SUPERPOSE is a weird, beautifully-drawn, slow burn of a comic about a group of brilliant young adults coming together in 198X to figure themselves out and fuck around with physics. I'm not done reading it, but its main cast are all BIPOC or immigrant characters with complex backstories and two main trans man/masc characters.
