This audiobook was designed to open up the conversation about gender dysphoria. A lot of research has been put in to help listeners understand this condition better.

Are you ready to have kids? More and more gay men are turning to adoption and surrogacy to start their own families.

In How You Get Famous, journalist Nicole Pasulka raucously documents the rebirth of the New York drag scene, following a group of iconoclastic performers with undeniable charisma, talent, and a hell of a lot to prove.

But can drag keep its edge as it travels from the backroom to the main stage?

We live in a world where trans lives are now mainstream and many forms of nonbinary and gender-diverse identities exist. This is also a world in which some people have some very strong views about how other people identify and how those people should be treated. If you happen to be someone who is running - or is thinking of setting up - a group, programme or event for women (or for a specific group of people for whom gender may be a defining feature) then you need to have an understanding of some of these issues so that you can lead with integrity.
