About Us

From the very beginning, the vision of the Trans Anthology Project was to work in community with gender-diverse teens and their parents to create a book that offers education, shares personal insights into the many ways gender can be navigated, speaks to both teens and parents to build understanding, and offers a sense of hope and community to anyone feeling isolated, afraid, and alone as they venture onto this path.
