Our primary resource offering is the zine we created, titled Transness is Our Salve. Our zine shares how the trans and nonbinary participants in our study found healing from the wounds of relational trauma from parental figures. Click here to read and/or download the zine. Below you will find resources related to the sources and processes of healing that our participants shared with us. Note that all the resources listed are clickable links.
