Hey, yo! Read this stuff first!

You'll find important background information and a whole lot more resources in this section's main page. So go check it out!

Notation reminders (A small image of a book, laying open with its spine flat and one page mid-turn and *):

  • Sources preceded by a book (A small image of a book, laying open with its spine flat and one page mid-turn) will teach you your (our) queer and trans history.
  • Everything that's preceded by a red asterisk (*) is a source recommended by my survey-takers.

Instagram accounts to check out

Many of the suggestions that came from my survey-takers are for people who have both Instagram and TikTok accounts. In some cases, i only listed one β€” if, for instance, it seemed like the person's Insta was just a repeat of the videos posted on TikTok. In cases where the content seemed to be substantially different, however, i include both, each in their respective lists.

Below, i've included each account along with the queer/trans parts of their descriptions (line breaks removed so this list isn't miles long). That will give you an idea of what each person focuses on.
