A Short History of Trans Misogyny book club

'𝐼𝑛 π‘‘π‘Ÿπ‘’π‘‘β„Ž,' Jules Gill-Peterson writes, 'π‘’π‘£π‘’π‘Ÿπ‘¦π‘œπ‘›π‘’ 𝑖𝑠 π‘–π‘šπ‘π‘™π‘–π‘π‘Žπ‘‘π‘’π‘‘ 𝑖𝑛 π‘Žπ‘›π‘‘ π‘ β„Žπ‘Žπ‘π‘’π‘‘ 𝑏𝑦 π‘‘π‘Ÿπ‘Žπ‘›π‘  π‘šπ‘–π‘ π‘œπ‘”π‘¦π‘›π‘¦.'

As Trans Awareness Week brings its usual round of flags and corporate platitudes, let's plot a route to true trans liberation by reading and talking about this slim, powerful queer history book, which exposes the historical origins of the transmisogynistic system in which we all live.

Come along even if you haven't read the whole thing, and we'll learn from each other: understanding how we got our current transphobic worldview is the first step towards burning it down.
