Trans people are in the midst of hard time. That’s nothing new. To find ways to survive &, despite everything, thrive in the new/old regime, we turn to our elders, who have been through it all before.
Reading Trancestors is a free monthly hybrid reading & discussion group centering trans authors & readers, focused on learning from a past that insists on continually repeating itself. How did our trancestors survive the things we’re scared will happen again? Where did they find purpose in a world with no concept of their existence? What beautiful siblings are in the archive, siblings we may not even know existed?
Hosted monthly by Nonbinarians Philomena & Alexander, meeting on the last Monday of the month** on-site in-store at The Nonbinarian Bookstore & virtually on Zoom. Each month we will suggest our next book together. **June's book club is meeting the first month of July, post-poned one week from original schedule.
For our June meeting**, we'll be reading Marsha: The Joy and Defiance of Marsha P. Johnson by Tourmaline . Links to purchase a print copy from Bookshop.org or audiobook copy from Libro.fm above.
Attendees (both virtually & in person) will receive $5 off their next purchase in-store at The Nonbinarian Bookstore.
This book club centers the trans gaze & is open only to trans, non-binary, & gender-nonconforming attendees.
