This page lists a variety of resources for and about trans people and our lives. We offer them as a way to be in community and foster our resilience. We list cultural resources, including films, poetry, documentaries and music, as well as general resources to help trans people stay strong.
We’d really like to add more things to the page: please offer you’re contributions! We’re particularly interested in guides to trans self-care and mental health, and trans-curated lists of art by trans people. Email contributions to transhealthuk[at]riseup.net.
All links are working as of the last time this page was revised. Where links go to external resources, THUK has taken care to ensure that the content is appropriate, but cannot take responsibility beyond this.
