Book Description
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.
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.
Editorial Reviews
Review
"A valuable guide for breaking down social pressures and expectations, laying out specific transphobic and queerphobic beliefs in plain language and exposing the underlying fear. Lore does not shy away from the sticky business of how harmful actions can also come from within our own LGBTQ+ community."--Tamara Pincus, social worker and author of It's Called Polyamory
"The warm and informative self-help book Carry On brims with supportive words for queer and trans people, drawing on scholarship, stories, and advice from activist Nillin Lore and others... It celebrates queer heroes in accessible, sometimes punchy language, and it notes that 'Choosing to be affirming, welcoming, uplifting, inspiring and caring in the face of all the adversity that we experience is a true fucking power move.' It even closes with five final affirmations. A compassionate self-help book, Carry On gathers advice from diverse role models on navigating contemporary queer life."--Meredith Grahl Counts, Foreword
