Trans Resources

Websites
AutostraddleThis feminist website for LGBTQ women is essentially an online magazine concerned with news, art and culture, and community. It is explicitly and consciously trans-inclusive, with a features a trans section where all the trans women content can be accessed in one place.

Black Girl DangerousThis anti-racist website for queer and trans people of colour publishes personal and political essays on race, gender, and sexuality. It is explicitly and consciously trans-inclusive. Check out the trans section where all the trans (men, women, and non-binary) content can be accessed in one place. Sadly, BGD is no longer publishing new content, but their archive is still a goldmine of articles, videos, and more!

The Slash PileThis tumblr account is a fantastic resource that features a crowd-sourced list and links to LGBTQ+ webcomics. There is a trans tag that allows you to view only trans comics, as well as more specific identities such as non-binary. Rather than suggesting individual trans webcomics, we decided to offer y’all the ability to browse and decide on your own what you want to read.
