When opposition and hateful rhetoric feel so loud, it’s hard to believe messages of hope and positivity. In Carry On, Mx. Nillin Lore gently holds your hand to help face harsh realities with care and self acceptance. This book is a valuable guide for breaking down social pressures and expectations, laying out specific transphobic and queerphobic beliefs in plain language and exposing the underlying fear. Lore does not shy away from the sticky business of how harmful actions can also come from within our own LGBTQ+ community.
Carry On is an excellent companion to therapy, to reinforce what your affirming mental health professional is saying in session with practical and actionable ways to improve your life. Readers will appreciate the diverse voices included, highlighting the many varied paths to overcoming shame and anxiety about gender and sexuality. A blend of powerful writing, inspiring messages, unique first person perspective, and lived experience makes Carry On an essential self help read for LGBTQ+ people.
