Transanything is a disturbance of the constructed norm, a troubling, an offering, a series of encounters and insights encouraging a full aliveness--a transanything. In Jones' mythography of self and world, A hermit crab retires its shell, lovers drift apart, a self-proclaimed “nature essay” misbehaves, wandering away from the hummingbird outside Jones’s window. Transanything takes on a global web of colonial systems that seek to divide us, disrupting loneliness and forging space for queerness and transness to be radical aliveness. Miah Jeffra, co-founder of Foglifter, said, "The aliveness of this book has an ethic, a power, inspired by love. As a queer reader, I am filled with relief, with gratitude, with a sense of my own presence, and release.”
