This page lists a variety of resources for and about trans people and our lives. We offer them here as a way to engage with 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.
This page was last revised on 30/05/2020.
GENERAL & RESILIENCE
- Stay Home, Stay Queer by Melody Sproats and pals (2020) – view on the Curious Arts project website
- “Stay home, stay queer is a free downloadable resource pack full of helpful websites for LGBTQIA+ mental health, pride themed craft activities, interactive elements, queer colouring in and tips on how you can celebrate your identity in small and quiet ways. It is made for self isolating young (and older) LGBTQIA+ people, who may currently be living in unaccepting homes due to self isolation, who may have had to go back in the closet, unable to fully express themselves or are feeling distant from their identities due to the current climate.”
- The Resilience Anthology (Hardspark Press) – writings by “over thirty (C)AMAB* [coercively assigned male at birth] trans writers in what is currently the largest collection of poetry and prose made for and by us”
