This is a brilliant book, I really enjoyed it. A collection of essays by nineteen trans, non-binary, agender, gender-fluid and intersex writers, describing the multi-faceted ways they find joy in simply being themselves.

Dilara
Herculine Barbin | Michel Foucault

A couple of weeks ago, on the anniversary of Foucault's death, the garden of his family home was open to the public, as was his office, & 2 short plays, including the premiere of the 1 based on the tagged book, were given for free. I was there, but as photos were not allowed, there's no proof 😊. I enjoyed the play, and am now reading the book. It contains Herculine's own account of her life as an intersex person in the 19th century.

Dilara ⬇She was brought up as a girl, was outed & forced to live as a man after puberty, and committed suicide very young. Also contains an introduction by Foucault, various medical and legal documents related to the case, a scabrous short story by Oscar Panizza inspired by their life, and a postface by Eric Fassin, an academic specialising in gender & sexual orientation. 3mo

I grew up reading a lot of cis/het/allo books, and when I finally saw myself represented for the first time, it filled my heart with such joy 🖤🩶🤍💜🏳️‍🌈📚🏳️‍⚧️.
