{"product_id":"9781912489404","title":"The Appendix : Transmasculine Joy in a Transphobic Culture by Liam Konemann","description":"In April 2019, Liam Konemann idly began work on what he thought of as `the appendix' - a record of ongoing transphobia in the UK that he came across. But when his mental health began to spiral, he turned his attention to a different topic instead: how do we find beauty in transmasculinity? And how do we maintain it in a world stacked against us? The Appendix explores transphobia in UK media, as well as the trauma of living in a society constantly debating you. Liam explains his time spent `stealth' after moving to the UK, his false belief that witnessing the transphobia by documenting it would lead people to change their behaviours - that if he could only show them the effects on people like him, it would all stop - and the peaks and troughs of anxiety. More so, he turns the focus to the more positive representations and experiences, capturing - as he sought - the beauty in transmasculinity.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56309074690421,"sku":"9781912489404","price":7.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781912489404","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
