Nothing to Hide: Voices of Trans and Gender Diverse Australia by Yves Rees, Alex Gallagher, Bobuq Sayed, Sam Elkin
5.0
Nothing to Hide is an anthology of writing by trans and gender diverse Australian authors.
I find it rare to read gender diverse material online without having to also wade through the negative criticism that follows so it was lovely to read a physical anthology without all the backlash presented so closely. As someone who identifies with the gender they were assigned at birth I can never truly understand the experience of someone who is not accepted for who they are which is why I thought it was so important to pick this book up. Nothing to Hide is an accessible collection of work containing diverse formats, there are interviews, poems and more conventional stories contained, there is something for everyone within these pages. I found this work to be impactful, moving and a window into the lives of talented creatives who deserve an audience to listen to their voices. A very big thank you for Pauline for putting this one on my radar!
