About this book
**An anthology of letters by trans and non-binary survivors of sexual assault, abuse and domestic violence**
Written by and for trans and non-binary survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault, *Written on the Body* offers support, guidance and hope for those who struggle to find safety at home, in the body, and other unwelcoming places.
This collection of letters written to body parts weaves together narratives of gender, identity, and abuse. It is the coming together of those who have been fragmented and often met with disbelief. The book holds the concerns and truths that many trans people share while offering space for dialogue and reclamation.
Written with intelligence and intimacy, this book is for those who have found power in re-shaping their bodies, families, and lives.
