Introduction
From: The Care We Dream Of
$2.30
What if queer and trans people loved going to the doctor, dreaming together and demanding more? This book is about merging the practical with liberatory imaginings about what queer and trans health care could be, grounded in historical examples, present-day experiments, and dreams of the future. In addition, the author describes her family background of living in poverty and with activism.
