Transpeople: Repudiation, Trauma, Healing, Christopher A. Shelley, University of Toronto Press (2008)

“It is extraordinarily painful, as social creatures, to be told that you don’t belong,” Christopher Shelley has written. “When you’re pushed out, it’s damaging, it’s abusive, it can mark a person for life.”

Book launch for Transpeople: Repudiation, Trauma, Healing. Event begins at 7 p.m., Thursday, Sept. 25, at Little Sister’s bookstore, 1238 Davie St., Vancouver. RSVP to awilson@utpress.utoronto.ca.
