'No, I was not trapped in the wrong body. I was trapped in the wrong universe. In order to become who I was, I had to break the world open.'

Trans Central Station reflects on a trans life lived before the language to name it. In this luminous autobiographical essay, award-winning science fiction and fantasy author and tarotist Rachel Pollack moves between personal memory, history, science fiction and myth to consider how words can both restrict and liberate.

From Schrödinger's cat and science-fiction portals to magic, early trans activism and comics, Trans Central Station breaks the world open to 'both completely new and unknowably ancient' possibilities of desire, joy and revelation. Situating trans existence within deep time, Pollack connects modern experience to shamanism and rites of transformation, insisting that trans people have always existed - and have often been understood as sacred figures. In this meditation on freedom - from rigid social structures, from fear and shame, and from history itself - to be trans is proof of ancient and ongoing cosmic power.
