In Surviving Transphobia, editor Laura Jacobs presents an anthology by transgender and nonbinary contributors from all walks of life. These essays focus on the topic of perseverance during difficult times, discussing instances of harassment, discrimination, and vulnerability revealing the writers’ determination to survive and thrive. The contributors offer support and reassurance to readers, encouraging them to find their strength to seek happiness wherever they can. Author Kate Bornstein says, “Surviving Transphobia is . . . [f]ar from being a book of tragic endings, each and every chapter of this first rate collection sees transphobia conquered, and lucky us–we get to learn from the best how to do it for ourselves.”
