Fieselerāthis meeting will feature a special appearance by the author himself! Finally, our meeting on Tuesday, April 12 will dive into Transgender History: The Roots of Today's Revolution by Susan Stryker. š Each of these three books addresses crucial, yet sometimes forgotten events, people, and ideas from LGBTQ+ history.
