Transfeminism Reading List

Dia daoibh a chairde!

Have you ever found yourself wanting to read a good book about queer feminism but you weren't sure where to look?

I have spent more hours than I would care to admit studying, writing about, and educating on the topic of gender and sexuality, and I've realized that I could lend a bit of my educational development work to you kind folks by prepping this here reading list.

I hope you can find something to interest you--and I would love to talk about any of the works listed. The categories are not hard and fast, with many books belonging in several of them, but I figured there had to be some way to organize this, so bear with me. I also tried to narrow inclusion to books relating to queer/feminist studies.

Damn this is so cool, definitely saving for a time when I get back to reading. You should crosspost this to the effortpost comm too, needs more recognition imo!
- ohh thank you <3, sure I can do that. I think I know how haha

FREE IRELAND DEATH TO THE UK
- Haha yeah there's a solid amount of books here that might be a little Irish-specific, but I think they're well worth reading!

go raibh míle for this post Saoirse! i think i had a comment of yours saved from a while ago with a shorter list but this is just a wonderful selection. always appreciate your posts, you're seriously a font of knowledge and insight.
- Glad to be of service! I think these should all be available on libgen, but if you ever catch sight of one you're interested in and can't find, shoot me a message and I'll track it down for you <3

I looked through and this is a really good reading list!! Some things I'll have to check out!
I didn't see it, but I'd recommend "A short history of transmisogyny" by Jules Gill-Peterson.
- Thank you so much for the recommendation! I see that it just came out last year, I'll have to dive into that one this weekend. The list is stuff I've read, so I'll update it once I've had a chance to check it out! Very much appreciated <3 <3

Thank you for this. Only one of the books here has been a course book in my uni gender studies and that sure makes one think.
So many I want to read.
- Hope you find something you enjoy, and please feel free to let me know what you think of any of them, I'm always up for a good discussion <3
  It is very interesting that only one of them has been in your coursework, there are a couple here that are usually pretty ubiquitous
