Both/and : essays by trans and gender-nonconforming writers of color.
From Denne Michele Norris and Electric Literature, a vital anthology of essays by trans and gender-nonconforming writers of colour, sharing stories of joy, heartbreak, rage, and self-discovery. Featuring seventeen essays by trans people of colour -- spanning writers, scientists, actors, activists, and drag queens -- Both/And explores what it means to live as a trans or gender nonconforming person of colour today. Acclaimed authors Akwaeke Emezi, Tanaïs, and Meredith Talusan share their stories alongside activist and organizer Raquel Willis and RuPaul's Drag Race star Peppermint, as well as a host of rising literary talent. Each story is told with honesty, authenticity, and beauty. A nonbinary molecular biologist has nightmares about their estranged father transitioning. A writer revisits a casual hook-up when she discovered her womanhood. And a woman vacations with her wife in Hawaii, where she gets in touch with the fire goddess within. These stories depict real trans lives from trans points of view, at a time when these perspectives are most urgent and valuable.Library Bound Incorporated- Subjects: BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / LGBTQ+; LITERARY COLLECTIONS / Essays; LITERARY COLLECTIONS / LGBTQ+; LITERARY CRITICISM: LGBTQ+; SELF-HELP / Gender & Sexuality; SOCIAL SCIENCE / Biracial & Multiracial Studies; SOCIAL SCIENCE / Essays; SOCIAL SCIENCE / Gender Studies; SOCIAL SCIENCE / LGBTQ+ Studies / Transgender Studies; SOCIAL SCIENCE / Race & Ethnic Relations;

- On Book Banning Or, How the New Censorship Consensus Trivializes Art and Undermines Democracy [electronic resource] : by Wells, Ira.aut; CloudLibrary;
The freedom to read is under attack. From the destruction of libraries in ancient Rome to today’s state-sponsored efforts to suppress LGBTQ+ literature, book bans arise from the impulse toward social control. In a survey of legal cases, literary controversies, and philosophical arguments, Ira Wells illustrates the historical opposition to the freedom to read and argues that today’s conservatives and progressives alike are warping our children’s relationship with literature and teaching them that the solution to opposing viewpoints is outright expurgation. At a moment in which our democratic institutions are buckling under the stress of polarization, On Book Banning is both rallying cry and guide to resistance for those who will always insist upon reading for themselves.- Subjects: Electronic books.; Books & Reading; Censorship; Civilization; Essays;
