"I didn't know this book was missing from the trans canon until I read it, and now I am so thrilled it exists. Excellent resource for teachers and workshop leaders. There's so much here! And I'm so glad that compilations of exercises like this exist—perhaps it can help us to stop relying on trans folks to teach trans liberation."

5/5

When The Teaching Transgender Toolkit was published in 2015, the co-authors (Eli Green & Luca Maurer), and their publisher (Planned Parenthood in Ithaca, NY) set aside 10% of the proceeds of the book with a commitment to redistribute that money to trans community.  Now is that time, and The Transgender Training Institute is redistributing the $15,000 in the form of 5-6 microgrants to support TRANS LED projects!
