I HOPE WE CHOOSE LOVE A Trans Girl's Notes from the End of the World

Nicky Endres is the perfect narrator for this work of queer nonfiction, first published in 2019 and now available on audio. Thom's essays explore the contradictions and complexities of queer and trans communities and social justice movements. She writes about how communities talk about--and don't talk about--suicide, abuse, conflict, family making, sex work, and more, always centering the lived experience of trans women. Thom's prose is scathing and conversational, and Endres captures both modes. Their voice is warm, intimate, and sometimes raw. They read the poems scattered between the essays with passion. This is an audiobook about the radical power of love, and the love that Endres and Thom have for trans communities comes through loudly. An essential listen for anyone doing social justice work.
