Abstract

What if you could trust in getting the health care you need in ways that felt good and helped you thrive? What if the health system honoured and valued queer and trans people''s lives, bodies, and expertise? What if LGBTQ+ communities led and organized our own health care as a form of mutual aid? What if every aspect of our health care was rooted in a commitment to our healing, pleasure, and liberation?

LGBTQ+ health care doesn't look like this today, but it could. This is the care we dream of.

The Care We Dream Of is not quite an essay collection, and not quite an anthology. Instead, it's a hybrid kind of book that weaves together the author's [sic] essays on topics like queering health and healing, transforming the health system, kinship, aging, and death, alongside stories, poetry and non-fiction pieces by Alexander McClelland and Zoe Dodd, Blyth Barnow, Carly Boyce, jaye simpson, Jillian Christmas, Joshua Wales, Kai Cheng Thom, Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha, and Sand C. Chang. The book also includes interviews with activists, health care workers and researchers whose work offers insights into what liberatory and transformative approaches to LGBTQ+ health can look like in practice. Interviewees include Anita "Durt" O'Shea (of St. James Infirmary), Dawn Serra, Hannah Kia, Ronica Mukerjee, and Sean Saifa Wall.

Homosexuality(Gay, Lesbian Health Issues)

Abstract

Comment expliquer que certains d?entre nous soient homosexuels, d?autres hétérosexuels et plusieurs plus ou moins bisexuels? D?où vient notre orientation sexuelle, et l?homosexualité en particulier? Est-elle normale? Contre nature? Naît-on ainsi ? Résulte-t-elle de déterminismes biologiques? De l?éducation familiale? d?expériences précoces? S?agirait-il plutôt d?un choix? Et pourquoi certains sont-ils homophobes? L?étendue de l?ignorance en matière d?orientation sexuelle est, encore de nos jours, aussi consternante que regrettable, et notre système d?éducation ne semble pas vouloir remédier à la situation. L?information existe pourtant mais, selon toute apparence, elle est encore très mal diffusée et, lorsqu?elle l?est, souvent confuse. C?est pourquoi l?auteur propose ici une présentation à la fois synthétique et vivante des connaissances actuelles. Ce livre s?adresse à quiconque s?intéresse à ces questions qui, pourtant, nous concernent tous.

Abstract

A comic book for kids that includes children and families of all makeups, orientations, and gender identities, Sex Is a Funny Word is an essential resource about bodies, gender, and sexuality for children ages 8 to 10 as well as their parents and caregivers.

Much more than the "facts of life" or ?the birds and the bees," Sex Is a Funny Word opens up conversations between young people and their caregivers in a way that allows adults to convey their values and beliefs while providing information about boundaries, safety, and joy.

Sex Is a Funny Word is the first sex education book for this age group that is inclusive of lesbian, gay, and bisexual experience as well as gender creative and gender-nonconforming children. The book is also inclusive of trans and intersex bodies and lived experience.

Abstract

You Know, Sex is the first thoroughly modern sex education book for every body, covering not only the big three of puberty?hormones, reproduction, and development?but also power, pleasure, and how to be a decent human being.

Centering young people?s experiences of pressures and joy, risk and reward, and confusion and discovery, there are chapters on body autonomy, gender, consent, pornography, masturbation, stigma, boundaries, harassment,

trauma, and a lot more.

The puberty, anatomy, and reproduction chapters include trans, nonbinary, and intersex bodies and experience, and all of it takes place in our contemporary, media-saturated world (aka, there?s lots of smart phones and social media).

Racially and ethnically diverse, inclusive of cross-disability experience, You Know, Sex is a book for every kind of young person and every kind of family?essential for kids, everyone who knows a kid, and anyone who has ever been a kid.

Abstract

Nalvana feels like all of her friends have some type of superpower. She has friends with super speed (who always beat her in races), friends with super strength (who can dangle from the monkey bars for hours), and friends who are better than her at a million other things. Nalvana thinks she must be the only kid in town without a superpower. But then her mom shows Nalvana that she is unique and special, and that her superpower was right in front of her all along.
