All The Things They Said We Couldn’t Have: TC Oakes-Monger’s stories of trans joy and love
Updated 3 years ago
2 min read
“Our community is not a monolith, and I could never speak for us all,” writes TC Oakes-Monger in the author’s note of their new novel.
“The experiences of trans people of colour occur at the interactions of racism and transphobia and result in unique forms of oppression. Classism, ableism and other forms of discrimination impact trans people’s experiences uniquely and with particular violence. There are experiences that trans people share and others that we don’t. Our rich community deserves a book for every story; this is only mine.”
Read on for an extract from All The Things They Said We Couldn’t Have: Stories Of Trans Joy (£12.99, Jessica Kingsley Publishers), out 19 January 2023.
