"The Ottawa Trans Library is a library and community space for trans and gender non-conforming folks. It consists of a lending library on #trans and #GenderIssues and by trans and #GenderDiverse authors and a small #OttawaTransArchives. Visit the OTL at 1104 Somerset St. West in Hintonburg.

Hours are:

Saturday 12 pm to 5pm
Monday, and Thursday 3 pm to 7 pm
Wednesday 12 pm to 5 pm

In addition to regular hours, the OTL holds events at other times. For complete info, visit the library site at https://ottawatranslibrary.ca/.

You can also check out the front page appearance in the Ottawa Citizen.

The lending library consists of books by trans authors, as well as historical, important and interesting works on trans issues and people. I am also interested in acquiring transphobic titles. If you have a collection of trans books or periodicals gathering dust in your basement that you would consider #deaccessioning (that’s a respectful term for 'getting rid of'), please get in touch with me. We will also be building the collection through purchase.

The library has four separate sitting areas, a free coffee and tea station and free WiFi, of course. You don’t need to borrow a book. Meet your friends or talk to the librarian. A safe space with no pressure or judgments. There is only one rule: be respectful of others."

Ich jetzt meine Beziehungsberatungs-Website übersetzt und freue mich über Anfragen und Weiterverbreitung

I have translated my relationship counseling website, look forward to enquiries and would be happy for people to spread the word

• Deutsch: katharina-debus.de/beziehungsb…
• English: katharina-debus.de/relationshi…

Ich biete Beziehungsberatung in Berlin und online für alle Geschlechterkonstellationen und alle einvernehmlichen Lebensweisen, Beziehungsmodelle und Sexualitäten. Wichtig ist mir, nicht mit Schablonen einer ‚guten‘ oder ‚richtigen‘ Beziehung zu arbeiten – weder entlang gesamtgesellschaftlicher Normalitätsvorstellungen noch entlang von Community-Normen –, sondern Umgangsweisen zu entwickeln, die zu den beteiligten Menschen passen. Mein Ziel ist die Unterstützung hin zu Beziehungen, die allen Beteiligten guttun und auch mit Herausforderungen umgehen können. Dabei arbeite ich vielfaltsorientiert, diskriminierungsreflektiert und herrschaftskritisch/machtkritisch.

I offer relationship counseling in Berlin and online for all gender constellations and all consensual relationship models and sexualities. Rather than working with templates of ‘good’ or ‘right’ relationships—either based on societal or community norms—I aim to support you to co-create approaches that correspond to your individual wishes, needs, and boundaries. My goal is to assist in fostering relationships that are beneficial to all involved and can also handle challenges. In this process, I appreciate diversity and strive to take into account and mitigate effects of discrimination, inequality and power imbalances on relationships.
