If you’re a leader, show your #vulnerability. Don’t pretend to be tough. Don’t hide your doubt or pain or fear. Your job is not to make those you lead think you’re invincible. Your job is to show them they can also lead when they’re feeling vulnerable.

Can I have some recommendations for #trans #transfem #transfemme books?

* Any genre please.
* Fiction & non-fiction welcome.

This is the only real time travel paradox.
