Trans Bodies, Trans Selves, set to hit bookstores mid-May, was written by 200+ contributors on topics ranging from “race, religion, disabilities, employment, mental health, sexuality and parenting†hearkening to the 1970’s feminist health-resource book “Our bodies, Our Selves.†The book’s press release came out last week, at the same time as a study by California’s Department of Insurance, which shows that when health insurance companies allow transition related care, suicide attempts, substance use and mental health burdens are reduced, as well as an increase in medical adherence and employment for trans patients.
