For readers of What Fresh Hell is This? and Next Level, a queer, gender-affirming guide to navigating menopause—find gender euphoria, learn how to advocate for your healthcare, and empower yourself

Prompts, tools, and expert wisdom for living well through menopause and beyond

The diverse menopause experiences of nonbinary, trans, and other queerbodied individuals have been overlooked—and actively invisibilized—for far too long. Genderqueer Menopause is an indisputable and empowering resource for those navigating symptoms and seeking gender-affirming care during the menopause transition.

Author, menopause doula and coach, and genderqueer educator Lasara Firefox Allen, MSW, pushes back against the norms of mainstream menopause care, asserting that menopause should not—and will not—be suffered in silence. They help you:

Gain tools to enhance your awareness of premenopausal, perimenopausal, menopausal, and postmenopausal life.

Reframe negative beliefs and internalized bias.

Push back against heteronormative medical standards of care.

Manage symptoms like brain fog, sleep problems, and genitourinary and menstrual changes.

Hear from the voices of trans, nonbinary, and gender-expansive people.

Demystify menopause and define your own experience.

Allen’s perspective centers the genderqueer experience and the community’s needs from an affirming frame. Genderqueer Menopause challenges conventional narratives surrounding menopause and guides readers through this life transition using practical resources and exercises.

Genderqueer Menopause is a powerful resource for gender expansive folx to empower themselves, find relief, and gain support. Menopause can be a time of both grief and celebration for many of those in the trans, nonbinary, and genderqueer communities. Use this book to ease the process and live well.
