That spring, Mari introduced Leo to a small group that met in the back of the bookstore on Thursday nights. There was Sam, a nonbinary artist who painted galaxies on old windows. There was Priya, a trans woman who’d moved from the city and spoke about hormones with the same warmth she used to talk about baking bread. There was River, a teenager with bright purple hair who was figuring out their own pronouns and asked questions with fearless curiosity.
The one place Leo found peace was a tiny, sun-faded bookstore called The Open Page . It was run by Mari, an older lesbian woman with silver-streaked hair and a gentle, knowing smile. Mari never pried, but she always left books on the counter for Leo: stories of queer poets, memoirs of trans elders, comics about chosen family.
Trans people face higher rates of workplace discrimination and housing instability compared to cisgender gay and lesbian individuals.
