It's a happy story that starts at the end of many rejections, and I'll post some threads in case the takeaways are faster/easier to get here vs. Substack. The site is The Bird's Eye, and it's completely free and goes to folks' inboxes every other week.

"Earlier in my life and transition, Gender Euphoria would be the book that I needed. It's a diverse collection of trans and non-binary perspectives that managed to be more positive than many "Trans Tauma Porn" collections out there, in that it shows the sunnier side of transition" - Chelsea Manning.
"Every page is a little present! A timely reminder of the value of trans lives, and the urgent need to improve the conditions in which we are made to live them" - Abigail Thorne.
"Gender Euphoria really up-ends the baked-in narrative about pain and unhappiness, Instead, these young writers look at life through the other end of the telescope and [...] find the things to rejoice about being set free from the shackles of gender conformity... This book will inspire you" - Christine Burns.](https://fedi.ml/photo/preview/640/377961 "A trans flag colour background, and an image of the cover of the book Gender Euphoria, accompany quotes from reviews of the book.
