As mentioned before... This isn't just a book for trans people! If you're cis, please feel free to join and don't feel intimidated if you're not trans and/or new to these topics.

In this thread we'll be discussing Chapter 4: "Are You a Guy, or What?"

CWs: Mentions of transphobia, misgendering.

This chapter covers remarks by Feinberg at a True Spirit Conference workshop called "Exploring Our Options", which are primarily focused on challenging the gender binary and defining ourselves in ways that honor our self-expression.

There are also two great "Portrait" sections here, one by Michael Hernandez and another by Dragon Xcaliber, with both discussing their lived experience in not fitting neatly into the categories that society tries to force us into.

I'll ping whoever has been participating so far, but please let me know if you'd like to be added (or removed).

Feel free to let me know if you have any feedback also. Thanks!
