In this inspiring self-help handbook, a trans activist dares us to be the change we want to see--both out in the world, and amongst our closest connections.
Lifelong activist and educator Dean Spade dares us to decide that our interpersonal actions are not separate from our politics of liberation and resistance. Many activist projects and resistance groups fall apart because people treat each other poorly, trying desperately to live out the cultural myths about dating and relationships that we are fed from an early age. How do we divest from the idea that one romantic partner will be the solution to all our problems? How do we bring our best thinking about freedom and justice into step with our desires for healing and connection? Love in a F*cked-Up World is a resounding call to action and a practical manifesto for how to combat cultural scripts and take our relationships into our own hands, preparing us for the work of changing the world.

Over the past few years, we have witnessed a growing wave of anti-LGBTQ+ bills and policies across the United States. According to the ACLU, in 2023 alone, 507 anti-LGBTQ bills were proposed in 47 states; among these, 84 have been passed into law.
The targets of many of these legislative attacks have been the most vulnerable among us--transgender and LGBTQ+ youth. From Don't Say Gay laws to healthcare restrictions, anti-LGBTQ+ policies are impacting trans and queer youth in almost every sphere of their lives, including the medical care they can access, the sports teams they can play on, what they are allowed to talk about in the classroom, and the books they are allowed to check out from the library. The results of this discrimination are often deadly, with over half of transgender and non-binary youth seriously contemplating suicide, and many others falling victim to violent hate crimes inspired by this hostile climate.
Trans Kids, Our Kids: Stories and Resources from the Frontlines of the Movement for Transgender Youth shares the stories of transgender youth and their families, exploring the choices they are making to survive in today's environment. The book also gives voice to the medical providers who are providing care to transgender youth, as well as the activists, teachers and faith leaders who are leading the resistance efforts.
By contextualizing and sharing these stories, as well as offering resources and next steps, Trans Kids aims to both narrativize the pain and fear experienced by everyday Americans in this cultural moment, as well as highlighting the courage, hope, and resilience of transgender and LGBTQ+ youth, their families, and the people who support them.

Interspersing personal memoir with radical notions of self-help and collective recovery, Warrior Princesses Strike Back focuses how Indigenous activist strategies can be a crucial roadmap for contemporary truth and healing.
Pine Ridge Indian Reservation is home to the original people of this land, yet it is also one of the poorest communities in America. Through intimate and vulnerable memoir, Lakota twin sisters Sarah Eagle Heart and Emma Eagle Heart-White recount growing up on the reservation and overcoming enormous odds, first as teenage girls in a majority-white high school, and then battling bias in their professional careers. Woven throughout are self-help strategies centering women of color, that combine marginalized histories, psychological research on trauma, and perspectives on decolonial therapy. Through the lens of Indigenous activism, the Eagle Hearts explore the possibility of healing intergenerational and personal trauma by focusing on traditional strategies of reciprocity, acknowledgment, and collectivism.

We share the moments when we were vulnerable, were bullied, had needs dismissed, or were discriminated against, revealing our determination and how we have (sometimes) managed to thrive. We offer loving support as you brave agony and seek joy. We also speak to our allies. We are activists, actors, athletes, authors, lawyers, doctors, nurses, therapists, sex workers, clergy, diplomats, and military veterans. We are of many ethnicities. We vary socioeconomically, educationally, and geographically. Some are neurodivergent. Several are disabled or have chronic illnesses. A few are HIV+. A small number were born elsewhere. We have survived, here's how. And if we can survive... so can you.

Un análisis divulgativo y fundamentado sobre la identidad de género, la teoría queer y todas las cuestiones alrededor de las personas transgénero.
La doctrina queer tiene críticos bien documentados: lean Nadie nace en un cuerpo equivocado. Fernando Savater, El País
Por fin aparece en los escaparates el grito de que el emperador va desnudo. Silvia Carrasco, El País
Tras las grandes conquistas sociales de las últimas décadas relativas al respeto y los derechos de las personas que no encajan en los roles sexuales tradicionales, ha aparecido un nuevo transactivismo: el generismo queer. No está basado en conocimientos de la medicina, la psiquiatría o la psicología. Tampoco existe ninguna filosofía sólida que permita afirmar que se puede nacer en un cuerpo equivocado. Por el contrario, este nuevo activismo se basa en una filosofía posmoderna ya superada, en una idea particular de justicia social y en una agenda política que no se corresponde con los problemas reales de los individuos.
Nadie nace en un cuerpo equivocado es un brillante libro divulgativo que aborda este tema desde sus mil vertientes: la psicológica, la filosófica y la sociológica; y que atiende a fenómenos como las redes sociales, la vida en la ciudad moderna, la publicidad, la infantilización de la universidad o los problemas actuales de la infancia y la adolescencia, entre otros.
Un análisis riguroso, lleno de empatía y buen humor, que se apoya en tesis fundamentadas y que invita a pensar y a desafiar el lenguaje triunfante de la teoría queer.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
An informative and grounded analysis of gender identity, queer theory and all the issues surrounding transgender people.
Queer doctrine has well-documented critics: read Nadie nace en un cuerpo equivocado. Fernando Savater, El País
At last there appears in the shop windows the cry that the emperor is naked. Silvia Carrasco, El País
After the great social conquests of recent decades regarding the respect and rights of people who do not fit into traditional sexual roles, a new transactivism has appeared: queer genderism. It is not based on knowledge of medicine, psychiatry or psychology. Nor is there any solid philosophy that allows us to affirm that one can be born in the wrong body. On the contrary, this new activism is based on an outdated postmodern philosophy, on a particular idea of social justice and on a political agenda that does not correspond to the real problems of individuals.
Nadie nace en el cuerpo equivocado (No One Is Born in the Wrong Body) is a brilliant informative book that addresses this subject from its thousand aspects: psychological, philosophical and sociological; and that attends to phenomena such as social networks, life in the modern city, advertising, the infantilization of the university or the current problems of childhood and adolescence, among others.
A rigorous analysis, full of empathy and good humour, which is supported by well-founded theses and invites us to think and challenge the triumphant language of queer theory.
