Abi Maxwell grew up in rural New Hampshire, one of eight kids in a poor town abutting a wealthier lakeside village. Maxwell moved away, but once she married and became pregnant, she knew she wanted to raise her child near the mountains and lake of her youth. When her six-year-old, who was known to the world as a boy, asked to wear pink sneakers, asked to be a witch for Halloween, asked to wear a girl’s dance costume, Maxwell worried about how their small community would react.

One of the most maligned, misunderstood, and even mocked constituencies in American politics, gay Republicans regularly face condemnation from both the LGBTQ+ community and their own political party. Yet they’ve been active and influential for decades. Gay conservatives were instrumental, for example, in ending “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” and securing the legalization of same-sex marriage—but they also helped lay the groundwork for the rise of Donald Trump.

Dating, for anyone, is like entering an explosive field but remaining hopeful because love is a beautiful thing. However, for non-binary partners, the obstacles can be more complex and overwhelming. From dealing with misgendering based on appearance, tackling traditional gender norms, and staying true to your sense of self in the relationship, it can look like the odds are stacked against you.

The world is full of mixed messages for girls: Stand up for yourself but do it softly. Be independent but not single. Love your body, just make sure it’s waxed, bleached, and thin. And then there are the more overt hostilities: being talked over, paid less, touched without permission, and having politicians debate their right to bodily autonomy. Many parents find it simpler to affirm girls’ strength than to address these distressing experiences directly. But with girls’ skyrocketing rates of depression, anxiety, and suicide, parenting them in this culture presents an urgent challenge.

Free to Be is an authoritative deep dive by internationally renowned child and adolescent psychiatrist Dr. Jack Turban into the science, medicine, and politics of gender identity.

"Durante siglos fue el silencio; ahora, muchos buscamos las palabras. Libros como El fin del armario nos ayudan a romper moldes, prejuicios, ignorancias. Y a encontrarlas, a aprender a hablar de estos tiempos en que la sexualidad y los géneros ya se dicen en un plural que crece y crece." — Martín Caparrós. Nadie es realmente libre si la libertad no es para todos. De allí que El fin del armario, una crónica brillante de los cambios vividos por lesbianas, gays, trans y bisexuales en el siglo xxi, no se haya escrito sólo para ellos, sino para lectores y lectoras de todas las orientaciones sexuales e identidades de género.

With Dare to Feel, Alexandra shares a powerful resource for reclaiming the lost parts of yourself and rediscovering the full richness of your human experience in all its breathless passion, tender vulnerability, and boundless love.

Park Cruising takes a long look at the men who cruise for sex in urban parks. Human rights lawyer Marcus McCann uses park cruising as a point of departure for discussions of consent, empathy, public health, municipal planning, and our relationship to strangers. Prompted by his work opposing a police sting in a suburban park, McCann's ruminations go beyond targeted enforcement and police indifference to violence to examine cruising as a type of world-building.

Fem unge Venstrefolk – dem som kommer til at tegne fremtidens Venstre – præsenterer deres bud på et borgerligt-liberalt samfund. De tager et opgør med fortidens politik – både de socialdemokratiske og de borgerlige regeringer – og fortæller, hvor det efter deres mening er gået galt for det borgerlige projekt. Deres hovedtese er, at politikerne har gjort folk til klienter i et system. Frie individer har deponeret deres selvstændighed hos staten. De problemer, som vores land står overfor, bliver ofte besvaret med mere stat, flere regler, mere indgriben.

An eye-opening account of what the left and right get wrong about sex and gender, On Sex and Gender focuses on three sequential and consequential questions: What is sex as opposed to gender? How does sex matter in our everyday lives? And how should it be reflected in law and policy? All three have been front-and-center in American life and politics since the rise of the trans rights movement: They are included in both major parties’ political platforms. They are the subject of ongoing litigation in the federal courts and of highly contentious legislation on Capitol Hill.

So often the stories shared by trans people about their transition center on gender dysphoria: a feeling of deep discomfort with their birth-assigned gender, and a powerful catalyst for coming out or transitioning. But for many non-cisgender people, it's gender euphoria that pushes forward their transition: the joy the first time a parent calls them by their new chosen name, the first time they have the confidence to cut their hair short, the first time they truly embrace themself.

When a mass shooter killed five people in an LGBTQ nightclub in Colorado Springs, grieving people graffitied James Dobson's Focus on the Family headquarters with the words "Their blood is on your hands." Such an accusation comes as no surprise to Amber Cantorna-Wylde, whose father is a Focus on the Family executive and cast Amber out of her family when she came out in 2012.
