Trans Central Station by Rachel Pollack

'Trans Central Station' reflects on a trans life lived before the language to name it. In this luminous essay, award-winning science fiction and fantasy author and tarotist Rachel Pollack moves between personal memory, history, science fiction and myth to consider how words can both restrict and liberate.From Schrödinger's cat and science fiction portals to magic, early trans activism and comics, 'Trans Central Station' breaks the world open to 'both completely new and unknowably ancient' possibilities of desire, joy and revelation.
