archive - Gender Expressions - October/November 1989 (highly recommended)

 

To read 'Gender Expressions', go to

here.

There is one piece which I HIGHLY recommend. The author is Harry Browne, 'How I Found Freedom in an Unfree World'. Here and there, the work is a little dated, but there is so much valuable work here, it is essential reading. I highly recommend it. Since Joe Biden's inauguration, the FBI is a little less creepy, but unfree states might do the devil's work.

If you have pamphlets, magazines, posters, scrapbooks, paintings, sculptures, art printings, or newspaper clippings and wish to donate them to a reputable organization, please see digitaltransgenderarchive.net.
