Queerphobic and transphobic messaging can arrive from nearly any direction, and once queer and trans people are exposed to the fear, disgust and judgement people have for otherness, it can easily fester into internalized oppression.
In a society that promotes the narrative of self-loathing queers, loving and accepting ourselves can be hard to imagine, let alone achieve. Author and activist Mx. Nillin Lore has first-hand insight into the complex inner journey of decluttering the guilt, shame and anxiety that can feed our inner discriminator and in Carry On, they provide a guided expedition through the source material of our own erasure.
A self-reflective journey and a toolset for dismantling inflammatory inner frameworks, this is a practical and encouraging guide for those ready and willing to unpack their internalized queerphobic and transphobic baggage.
• Timely. As the dialogue around trans rights and queer visibility is heightened, this is a valuable resource for those experiencing guilt, shame and anxiety around their identity.
• Unique perspective. Mx. Nillin Lore writes from their own experience as a trans and queer activist based in Saskatchewan, offering personal insights and candid advice.
• Accessibility. Written in an informal and non-therapeutic manner, with a focus on making big ideas understandable without being dumbed down.
An exploration of the messy but liberating process of defining and decentring inner narratives of shame, fear and regret for one's own queer identity.
