Reading, Listening, Viewing

There is so much to learn from connecting with someone's story

Transcend Australia has collated this list to help you find the books, zines, comics, graphic novels, podcasts and programs that will guide and inform you, your child, family, friends, colleagues and communities in understanding gender diversity better.

This list has reading material for children, teens/young adults, parents/carers and allies, covering fiction and non-fiction. Everyone has their own tastes and preferences so we have gathered a wide range to select from. It’s not an exhaustive list and are simply suggestions. This collection is an opportunity for you to gather information, discover and learn.

Today on May 17, we celebrate all LGBTIQA+ communities, their contributions to society, the joy they bring to the world and their achievements. Today, we also hold the older generations of our community in our hearts with gratitude for all the work they have done to create a safer world for us and the next generation. We still have a long way to go to end discrimination for all LGBTIQA+ communities and that this can only be truly achieved with the support from our allies, governments and broader society.

LGBTIQA+ communities face disproportionate levels of discrimination, and this is a very current issue impacting trans, gender diverse and non-binary young people and their families across Australia. The forces who oppose us are loud and powerful and if we are going to pave a rainbow road to equality, then the support for our communities must be strong, visible and in solidarity with us. For more information on how to support us, visit our website at www.transcend.org.au.

🎉This week we are celebrating 🎉

💖International Family Day for our families, who are a key protective factor for trans, gender diverse and non-binary young people. We celebrate the many types of families in our community who help us ensure we work towards a world where our young people are embraced and given every opportunity to thrive.💖

💖We are also celebrating National Volunteer week. We are so grateful for all the amazing parents and carers who volunteer their time to support other families who are journeying with their young people.💖

We are amazed by the contributions that families and volunteers make towards our work and towards our vision. Thank you for everything that you do, we couldn't do what we do without you!
