How Queer Bookshops Changed the World
The remarkable tale of how queer bookshops built communities, nourished minds, redefined literature – and changed the world<BR><BR>For over a century, LGBTQ+ bookshops have been the unsung heroes of queer liberation<BR> <BR>Home not only to books but chaotic community noticeboards, vicious rescue cats and countless meet cutes, queer bookshops have always been more than just bookshops, offering friendship, solidarity and sanctuary.<BR> <BR>Travelling the world – Shakespeare and Company in Paris, Gay’s the Word in London, the Oscar Wilde Bookshop in New York – A. J. West explores the remarkable history of these bookstores. Tracing their evolution from under-the-counter operations to beloved out-and-proud institutions, West reveals how the queer bookshop stood at the vanguard of LGBTQ+ rights, offering support and vital information through the AIDS crisis and bringing the fight to Section 28 and book bans.<BR> <BR>A powerful testament not only to bookshops but to the courage of queer booksellers, from Sylvia Beach hiding books from the Nazis in laundry baskets to Craig Rodwell facing off against the police at the Stonewall riots, A. J. West celebrates the shops and booksellers that brought queer literature and lives into the mainstream.<BR> <BR>Bookshops covered include: The Highlander & Dove, The Librarie Parisienne, Shakespeare and Company, City Lights Bookstore, The London Underground, Adonis Bookstore, The Oscar Wilde Memorial Bookshop, Glad Day, Lambda Rising, Giovanni’s Room, A Different Light, Amazon Bookstore Cooperative, A Woman’s Place Bookstore, Womanbooks, Sisterwrite, Modern Books, Housmans Bookshop, Prinz Eisenherz, Gay’s The Word, Lavender Menace & West and Wilde, Vrolijk, Silver Moon, London, The Bookshop Darlinghurst, Paperxclips, Gay-on-Wye, Gayberystwyth Books.

Letter to My Transgender Daughter
A parent's deeply moving love letter to a daughter who has always known exactly who she is.<BR><BR>'Stunning . . . Built like a thriller, moving, wise and illuminated on every page with love' - Joanne Harris, author of Chocolat<BR><BR>When Carolyn Hays's child made clear to the family that they were all wrong, he was not a boy, but, in fact, a girl, the Hays shifted pronouns, adopted a nickname and encouraged her to dress as she felt comfortable.<BR><BR>One ordinary day, a caseworker from the Department of Children and Families knocked on their door to investigate an anonymous complaint about the upbringing of their transgender child. It was this threat that instilled in them a deep-seated fear for their child's safety in the Republican state they called home. And so they uprooted their lives to the more trans-accepting Northeast United States, though they were never far from the hate and fear resting at the nation's core.<BR><BR>Intimate and thought-provoking, A Letter to My Transgender Daughter is an ode to Hays's brilliant, brave child. It tells of the brutal truths of being trans, of the sacrificial nature of motherhood, and of the lengths a family will go to shield their youngest from the cruel realities of the world. Hays asks us all to love better, for children everywhere enduring injustice and prejudice just as they begin to understand themselves.<BR><BR>A Letter to My Transgender Daughter is a celebration of difference, a plea for empathy, a hope for a better future, but moreover, it is a love letter to a child who has always known herself and is waiting for the rest of the world to catch up.<BR><BR>Originally published as A Girlhood: A Letter to My Transgender Daughter

Gender libera tutt*. Storie vere per amare, capire e fare la rivoluzione
'La mia battaglia per i diritti delle persone transgender è iniziata da una maglietta rosa con un unicorno: mia figlia la voleva indossare e io proprio non capivo perché un maschio non potesse farlo. Cercare di difendere questo suo diritto mi ha fatto iniziare a studiare e capire che cosa sia davvero l'identità di genere. Ma la cosa che mi ha aiutato di più in questo viaggio è stata conoscere tante persone transgender, di ogni età e di ogni nazionalità. Ognuna con la propria storia e le proprie peculiarità esattamente come chiunque: persone però che vivono in una società che non solo non le prevede, ma che ad oggi ancora pare non avere alcuna intenzione di prevederle. Basti pensare alle infinite discussioni per l'inserimento dell'espressione "identità di genere" all'interno del DDL Zan e a quel vergognoso applauso quando è stato affossato.' Camilla Vivian, creatrice di "Mio figlio in rosa", in cui racconta la sua esperienza di madre di una persona transgender, ha iniziato il suo percorso di attivista nel 2016. Da allora si è sempre scontrata, come chiunque porti avanti questa battaglia per i diritti, con una barriera di ignoranza e pregiudizio che finisce per sembrare insormontabile. Dall'uso del giusto pronome al riconoscimento giuridico, dalle terapie ormonali alla transizione chirurgica: le vicissitudini cui vanno incontro le persone transgender sono tante, dolorose e spiazzanti. Questo libro vuole essere un modo per cambiare le cose: attraverso le straordinarie testimonianze di 33 persone transgender di ogni età e provenienza, si racconta non solo la vera realtà della questione transgender in Italia, ma si affronta anche un problema politico e sociale che esige di essere risolto, affinché nessun diritto venga più negato e si inizi a costruire un mondo migliore.
