"I think it’s time for us to ask whether the public internet has outlived its usefulness as our primary tool for political activism — trans or otherwise. (...) If queer and trans folks are going to survive, we’ll need to once again embrace the underground, and learn when to be visible and when to shut the fuck up."

Does anyone know of any historical material (think about books, zines, pamphlets, journals, letters, interviews, anything really) that talks about/mentions T4T relationships?

I haven't delved into queer history too deeply for a while—so I may be wrong here—, but I find it curious how there doesn't to be much documentation about T4T relationships. I can't even think of any trans icons that were in a platonic, romantic and/or sexual relationship with a trans person. They almost exclusively partnered with cis people.

Where are ye old MLM trans men, WLW trans women, WLNB, MLNB, NBLNB, and all gender fucky relationships?

I doubt T4T is only a thing of the last couple of years. I gotta know if our trans elders had short-lived and long-lived relationships with their trans peers outside of friendships & chosen families.

Help me!!!

"Popocatepetl, Spirited Morning - Mexico," Marsden Hartley, 1932.

A born Down Easter, Hartley (1877-1943) started off with Maine landscapes, but then traveled to Europe in the early 20th century and discovered Cubism and Modernism in Paris and Berlin. He was tired of doing the same old thing and launched into a new phase of his career.

He traveled around a lot after WWI, including Europe and Mexico in the 30s, where he painted this landscape, inspired by Aztec and Maya lore and art.

He returned to Maine in the late 30s and focused then on local art, depicting the Maine landscape and its people in his own particular way.

He was also a writer, publishing poems, essays, and stories in various magazines, on such topics as art, Maine, and Nova Scotia, where he had close friends who gave him the stable, happy family he lacked as a child.

From the Smithsonian American Art Museum, Washington, DC.

The title words stopped me mid-page.
Not my words, yet they feel mine.

They carry something else too —
a feeling called compersion.
