Description
'This is literature at its finest - tender, attentive and daring.' – Omar Sakr, author of Son of Sin
Nothing to Hide is Australia's first mainstream anthology of trans and gender-diverse writing.
While there has been unprecedented trans visibility in Australia in the last decade, this visibility has not always been positive, shadowed at every step by transphobic misinformation and extremist rhetoric. As a counter to the harmful chorus of anti-trans voices, this collection features the work of thirty trans and gender-diverse people across the spectrum of age, race, geography, and circumstance. The writers give voice to their communities and tell their own stories, on their own terms.
Showcasing the wealth of creativity within the trans and gender-diverse community and providing illuminating insights into the challenges and joys of trans experience, Nothing to Hide is a powerful contribution to Australian literature.
