Welcome one of two newsletters by the award-winning author KB Brookins. You can buy copies of any of my books here. My other newsletter (focused on writerly tips and KB updates) is here.
What is Trans News That Doesn’t Suck?
It is a transgender utopia. As in, once a week I will send you a video (like this) + a list of positive trans news that I’ve found on the web. In the age of widespread anti-transness, it is a safe haven for transgender people and our allies.
