everyone talks about Whipping Girl and it is for good reason. i would consider it to be Transmisogyny 101. just the basics of how transmisogyny functions and how it impacts society. although it is written by a white trans woman thus lacks perspective on the experiences of trans women of color, so keep that in mind.

Hot Allostatic Load is also talked about a lot as a detailing of how trans women are ostracized from communities, which again i agree is a fair assessment of the work. it does describe this unfortunately very common occurrence well. the author details how trans women are pushed out of spaces and how this effects them through the lens as one who had that happen to her.

decolonizing trans/gender 101 is a critique on a specific publication (entitled Transgender 101: A simple guide to a complex issue) that claimed to be an "introduction" to transgender and detail the full history of it, but that it does discuss colonialism or race at all which is quite frankly, a very vital thing to discuss when describing trans history that this publication and many other writings fail to touch upon. it then goes on to make up for this by discussing colonialism and race in relation to the trans community.
