The Anxiety Book For Trans People: How to Conquer Your Dysphoria, Worry Less and Find Joy
Jessica Kingsley Publishers (21 May 2021)
ISBN-10 : 1787752232
As a trans woman, Freiya Benson is super anxious a lot of the time – from feeling unsafe in social situations, to worrying about how she looks and sounds – but over the years she has developed a toolkit for managing anxiety as a trans and/or non-binary person. Exploring specific triggers such as coming out, gender dysphoria, voice anxiety, transphobia, validity, passing and gender expectations, this guide will help you to identify and understand your triggers and anxiety, and build the resilience you need to handle life’s challenges.
With advice and personal stories from a range of trans people, this book highlights the importance of self-care and being proud of who you are and highlights how trans people can flourish both individually and as a community when their anxiety is no longer in charge.
Trans Love: An Anthology of Transgender and Non-Binary Voices
Jessica Kingsley Publishers (21 Aug. 2019)
ISBN-10 : 178592432X
A ground-breaking anthology of writing on the topic of love, written by trans and non-binary people who share their thoughts, feelings and experiences of love in all its guises. The collection spans familial, romantic, spiritual and self-love as well as friendships and ally love, to provide a broad and honest understanding of how trans people navigate love and relationships, and what love means to them.
Reclaiming what love means to trans people, this book provokes conversations that are not reflected in what is presently written, moving the narrative around trans identities away from sensationalism. At once intimate and radical, and both humorous and poignant, this book is for anyone who has loved, who is in love, and who is looking for love.
