Trans and Disabled

Wow. This was such an excellent collection of essays, poems, stories and plays. It really captured what it’s like to navigate the world as a trans and disabled person and made me feel seen, really really seen, for the first time in my life. I felt understood and validated in my transness and disabled-ness. I think this would be a great read for others like me but also people who have someone who’s trans and disabled in their life, to help them to better understand what that experience can be like.” – NetGalley ReviewerI have never read anything like this in my life. There is a kind of invisibility that Trans and Disabled (and Black) folks are forced to experience, and as a result, their lives, stories, and experiences are kept out of the purview of those who would most benefit from understanding them. This book is important to me as I continue “coming to terms” with my disabled identity, and as someone who deeply cares about people with different bodyminds and lived experiences. It offers a window into the worlds we often don’t see, while also serving as a mirror for those of us who live in the margins, validating our existence and struggles. This is more than just a book-it’s an invitation to listen, learn, and reflect on what it means to truly be seen. – N. Oumou Sylla, LMFT Founder of Joko Wellness
