What if you could trust in getting the health care you need in ways that felt good and helped you thrive? What if the health system honoured and valued queer and trans people's lives, bodies, and expertise? What if LGBTQ+ communities led and organized our own health care as a form of mutual aid? What if every aspect of our health care was rooted in a commitment to our healing, pleasure, and liberation? Chapter in Zena Sharman’s anthology The Care We Dream Of: Liberatory and Transformative Approaches to LGBTQ+ Health.

We who identify as nonbinary spend so much time saying who we are not that we never get time to focus on ourselves, to celebrate and honor who we are. Nonbinary is only in relation to the colonizer, to White culture, to Western, mutually exclusive ideals of masculine and feminine. It still centers their experiences as normal, typical, the true measure of gender.

I continually question my own motives and rationalizations. I’ve told myself that it is a reality that there are gates, and someone has to be there to open them. But why not work to destroy these gates?

In this handbook of trans-affirming counseling, I co-authored four chapters on these topics:

Gender and Sexual Orientation Diversity within the TGNC Community.

Affirmative Counseling with Trans/Gender-variant People of Color.

Working With TGNC Primary Caregivers and Family Concerns Across the Lifespan.

Advocacy and Social Justice: The Next Generation of Counseling and Psychological Practice With Transgender and Gender-Nonconforming Clients.

Class. Disability. Transphobia. Race. Body size. Surrogacy. Nationality. Biphobia. Economics. Sex work. Queer families. Misogyny. All of these issues and more comprise Visible: A Femmethology, the only two-volume anthology devoted to femme identity.

Nobody Passes is a collection of essays that confronts and challenges the very notion of belonging. By examining the perilous intersections of identity, categorization and community, contributors challenge societal mores and counter-cultural norms.
