2/4/2021 Update: In light of chucklefuck TERF shit with Giggle, I am once again demanding the rest of you liberals educate yourselves on trans issues with Trans Liberation as a starting point. And you better believe more literature on minority struggle is in the pipelines. We're doing some reading this month, libs. Get ready.


AUDIOBOOKS HAVE BEEN RECORDED FOR ALL 8 CHAPTERS. YOU LITERALLY HAVE NO EXCUSE FOR LIBERALISM.

https://hexbear.net/post/48476

Follow that link and you'll find a free download of the book in pdf and comrade @EugeneDebs's epub, comrade @futomes' audiobooks for all eight chapters, and notes and discussions from the book (and don't you dare just read the fucking notes you god damn liberals, read the fucking book or listen to the audiobook).

I spent an entire weekend night scanning the whole damn book so y'all could educate yourselves on the fucking struggles we've been screaming about for the past six months and hardly any of you damn cissie libs participated. Had you participated you'd probably have a better understanding of the struggles we face and we probably wouldn't be in this situation where trans people are heading for this damn hills because you're all shit libs driving us away.

Fucking read it or listen to the audiobooks and I won't ask again. It's all free. The book is only 147 pages - that's 7 pages per night for exactly 3 weeks. I wipe my fucking ass with 7 pages, that's nothing. People put genuine effort into this to ensure you could educate yourselves and you have no reason not to outside of fucking liberalism.

It reads quick. Drop whatever the fuck you're reading and read this. Now. :leslie-shining:

~~Edit: I'll be throwing up a discussion thread at some point in the next week or so for you damn shitlibs to comment on with things you find meaningful so I'll know if you actually gave a shit. I swear to God I better see y'all in the comments.~~

If you're having trouble downloading, there are links in this comment by u/hexaflexagonbear that seem to work.

If you don't stand up for trans rights, your pronouns are about to be were/was.

What's that meme with "you're really going to die for trans people?" "Someone is..."

I hope this gets some visibility on the federated instances. there's a lot of people over there that could do with reading this.

if you're visiting from another instance: read this book. it's short and it will change your perspective on queer politics. there's no liberation for any of us without liberation for us all.

Being bullied into reading this book by TC69 is one of the most important things that has ever happened in both my personal and political development.

Losing hir still hits hard. I could have learned so much more. trans-heart

IDK the details but I miss the fuck out of hir. Hir content helped me support my son's transition more than anybody else, and the Internet's just a little dimmer without hir presence.

one of the admins got doxxed and the whole admin team changed hands. wouldn't be surprised if she still posts under a different name but we don't know for very good reason.

are there any trigger warnings I should know about? stone butch blues got intense and I never finished. I will read it I just gotta be in the right headspace for certain topics.

Beyond pink or blue is not a novel it's more of like a theoretical exploration and journey of what transness means.

I can't remember ATM but most likely mentioning some violence perpetrated towards trans people, but not narratively.
