Spilling the T: Trans*(forming) Masculinities was a series of online and in-person sessions held by Raju Rage in the summer of 2022. Our aim was to create a space for trans* masculine people to unpack masculinities and forge their own, through collective reading, discussion and support. This is a guide to the readings for anyone who is interested in exploring them in their own time:
