Hey so as an FYI, the links are saying that the documents can't be viewed "because they're in the owner's trash". I only managed to see and download the "but there were no signs" one, which I love, but I'd really appreciate the others if they are still up somewhere.

Edit: Nevermind, that was only if I clicked on the links from the e-mail of the article. From the article page it works fine! but still thought you ought to know!

Thanks! Yeah, turned out there were some typos I missed, so I had to replace the files.

Can I just say, you are a saint? I'm sending my coming-out e-mail blast at work today, and to be able to reference first your "oh shit my coworker just told me" piece and now these tutorials as resources for my team? What a gift!

What a great resource. When I clicked the “Why are there so many trans people“ link I got the gender dysphoria information

Blarg???? I thought I was the only one in the universe that used this as an expletive. 😂

You should hear my wife! She can say "rats" with as much anger and animus as the sharpest F-bomb. 😂

Hi Zoe, what a great resource. Thank you for taking the time and energy to put these together. Sounded like a very educational afternoon for your students. They're lucky to have you!

These are fantastic! I am *totally* using these with my family members when I come out to them...

Addendum:

OMG. The last page of the "Gender Dysphoria" topic just made me cry...because those descriptions of what it's like every day resonate so damn much. But they weren't tears of sadness...but of HOPE after reading your last line: "And I say felt here, because transition, which included hormones and a couple of surgeries in my case, made my dysphoria go away forever."

As someone still very early in my acceptance and transition, thank you for that.

I signal-boosted “What Does All This Trans Stuff Mean?” in my own coming-out-more-broadly missive, and I thought you did a superb job organizing a lot of information in a sensible sequence. These bite-sized, colorful versions of that content are just as wonderful, if not more so. Different audiences, different ways of engaging.

I’ll be sharing these post haste, especially at work as a trans/enby DEI lead! Thank you for crafting them. 💜💜💜

The dysphoria one was excellent! I have never seen anything more accurate to my experience put into so few words. Especially the mirror thing. I also love the bathroom argument one as well because TRANS MEN exist!

These are so wonderful! Thank you for taking the time to put together such all encompassing and well researched information in such a useful easy to digest format! I'm going to print these out and take them with me to some of my conservative relatives who are bigoted against the idea of my daughter becoming my son.
