Trans kids, our kids : stories and resources from the frontlines of the movement for transgender youth / by Stratton, Alexis,author.(CARDINAL)873513; Polaski, Adam,author.; Beach-Ferrara, Jasmine,author.(CARDINAL)403653;
Includes bibliographical references.Part I. Into the maze -- part II. Finding your way -- part III. Don't go it alone -- part IV. Take action & take care."Over the past few years, we have witnessed a growing wave of anti-LGBTQ+ bills and policies across the United States. According to the ACLU, in 2023 alone, 507 anti-LGBTQ bills were proposed in 47 states; among these, 84 have been passed into law. The targets of many of these legislative attacks have been the most vulnerable among us--transgender and LGBTQ+ youth. From 'Don't Say Gay' laws to healthcare restrictions, anti-LGBTQ+ policies are impacting trans and queer youth in almost every sphere of their lives, including the medical care they can access, the sports teams they can play on, what they are allowed to talk about in the classroom, and the books they are allowed to check out from the library. The results of this discrimination are often deadly, with over half of transgender and non-binary youth seriously contemplating suicide, and many others falling victim to violent hate crimes inspired by this hostile climate. Trans Kids, Our Kids: Stories and Resources from the Frontlines of the Movement for Transgender Youth shares the stories of transgender youth and their families, exploring the choices they are making to survive in today's environment. The book also gives voice to the medical providers who are providing care to transgender youth, as well as the activists, community organizers and faith leaders who are leading the resistance efforts. By contextualizing and sharing these stories, as well as offering resources and next steps, Trans Kids aims to both narrativize the pain and fear experienced by everyday Americans in this cultural moment, as well as highlighting the courage, hope, and resilience of transgender and LGBTQ+ youth, their families, and the people who support them."--

Green glass ghosts / by Spoon, Rae,author.(CARDINAL)613941; Hall, Gem,1986-illustrator.;
"From non-binary writer and musician Rae Spoon: a rollicking yet introspective young adult adventure about screwing up, finding yourself, and forging a new life on your own. At age nineteen, the queer narrator of Green Glass Ghosts steps off a bus on Granville Street in downtown Vancouver, a city where the faceless condo towers of the wealthy loom over the streets of the east side where folks are just trying to get by, set against the deceptively beautiful backdrop of snow-capped mountains and sparkling ocean. Armed with only their guitar and their voice, our hopeful hero arrives on the West Coast fleeing a traumatic childhood. They're eager to build a better life among like-minded folks, and before they know it, they've got a job, an apartment, openly non-binary friends, and a new queer love. But their search for belonging and stability is disrupted by excessive drinking, jealousy, and painful memories of the past, distracting the protagonist from their ultimate goal of playing live music and spurring them to an emotional crisis. If they can't learn to care for themselves, how will they ever find true connection and community? The haunting black-and-white illustrations by Gem Hall conjure the moody, misty urban landscape and evoke that delicate, aching moment between youth and adulthood when we are trying, and often failing, to become the person we dream ourselves to be." --
