Resources

This toolkit has a lot of information in it, but there’s always more out there to learn, discover, and be affirmed by. This page contains downloads, websites, books, zines, podcasts, movies, and more, all of which we fully recommend as an extension to the lessons, ideas, and themes that you’ve explored across this Trans Vitality Toolkit.

Thank you for walking with us, we need you and are so grateful to share this work with you. Our hope is that trans people everywhere will find value in this toolkit, it’s been made by trans people for trans people, for you.
