To Survive on This Shore: Photographs and Interviews with Transgender and Gender Nonconforming Older Adults

Representation matters. And when it comes to the transgender and gender nonconforming community, it's even more vital. That's why we're proud to present "To Survive on This Shore: Photographs and Interviews with Transgender and Gender Nonconforming Older Adults". This groundbreaking book explores the lived experiences of older transgender individuals, offering a rich tapestry of stories that have been largely underrepresented in our society.

Photographer Jess T. Dugan and social worker Vanessa Fabbre embarked on a remarkable journey across the United States to capture the essence of this invisible community. They traveled coast to coast, from big cities to small towns, to document the stories of transgender and gender nonconforming older adults. Their subjects represent a diverse range of identities, weaving together a powerful narrative that spans ninety years of history.

By delving into the intersections of gender identity, age, race, ethnicity, sexuality, socioeconomic class, and geographic location, "To Survive on This Shore" provides a rare glimpse into the multifaceted lives of these individuals. This monograph not only serves as a vital historical record of transgender experience and activism in the United States, but it also humanizes the struggles and triumphs of growing older as a transgender person.

We invite you to immerse yourself in this poignant reflection on what it means to live authentically despite seemingly insurmountable odds. Discover the resilience, strength, and beauty of the transgender and gender nonconforming community through the artistry of Jess T. Dugan's photography and the candid interviews conducted by Vanessa Fabbre. Their collective efforts have gifted us with a book that will challenge perceptions, broaden horizons, and inspire empathy.
