Original title: "My zdes'. Sbornik trans*istoriy" Мы здесь. Сборник транс*историй (We're here. Collection of trans* stories) by LGBT initiative group "Coming Out".
The collection includes texts of Russian-speaking transgender people and their relatives about various aspects related to gender, transgenderism, transgender transition – and not only. In addition, inside you can find pictures, comics, and poems written by trans* people.
One of the most important tasks of the collection is to present - both to the trans* community itself and to the wider world - a diverse experience of trans* people with all the differences in their perception of the world, personal stories and vision of the phenomenon of transgenderism itself. Some of the texts are essays written by trans* activists, and some of them are stories about personal experiences, excerpts from diaries, memories of childhood, and thoughts about creativity, sexuality, rejection, acceptance, loneliness, and about community.
