Does anyone have a recommendation of a good book or book-like beginners resource to get my parents up to speed on transgender life and what related concepts are? They're supportive but very confused/ignorant, and they want to learn. Books are great, and we're happy to buy one, but it'd be nice to hear recs instead of just blindly buying one! Also desired for the book to be inclusive of nonbinary identities, because I married an enby, and my parents are again, supportive but very confused! <3

We'll announce again.
If you don't care which format, or prefer mp3, nothing to see/change/do.
I am trying to find a good screen reader and text to speech feature on GNU/Linux
just like the on that is built into MacOS

I want to be able to highlight text on any application (e.g. word processor or website) and then click a short cut key to hear it read out to me.
I appreciate your suggestions.
