Historically, transgender people have been talked about but not listened to; written about but not read. As I prepared to publish The Complicated Geography of Alice, I became acutely aware of my own cis (non-trans) privilege. While I have written extensively about the trans people in my life, I do not pretend or intend to speak for them. For this reason, I added an appendix featuring some amazing transgender writers for readers to explore. I encourage and challenge you to seek out works by some of the writers listed below and get to know them via their own words. If I've left someone brilliant off the list (because of course, I have), please add them in the comments.
