Trans Care by Hil Malatino

5.0

“Misgendering when done by a cis person, might be a small misstep made in the course of a day - unfortunate, perhaps, but really no big deal. Misgendering, when it happens to a trans person, is equally routine, but the felt impact couldn’t be more disparate. Because when it happens to us, we are being told, as Eva Hayward so powerfully puts it, “don’t exist”. Being told we don’t exist - despite all obvious indicators that we, in fact, do - operates as an attack on beingness. This form of attack slips too easily into a justification for harm; it is a way of marking trans populations as subhuman - thus expendable, disposable, dismissible, even killable"

Read this for GWS and loved it. It is so short and sweet. I love the idea of trans care and having a community. This book just felt like a hug.
Long live trans joy, trans love.
