In the Kyoshi Duology (read the books they are so so so good) someone is killed by a waterbender freezing the water in his chest cavity, destroying his internal organs. It's pretty brutal, the series in general is way more brutal than the shows.

I don't get the concept of anti-unjust hierarchy being the basis of anarchism, like doesn't every political model advocate for what the consider a just amount of hierarchy? the concept of an unjust hierarchy is subjective and doesn't that open the door for literally all politcal concepts to be anarchistic by that definition? I mean obviously they aren't in reality but they would be based on that definition
Yeah, you hit the point I was trying to put into words.
If you like this, you should check out Amyl and The Sniffers.
yet again british people prove they can not be trusted with anything ever
idk if it's "mass-market" per se, but you might like the Dreadnought series. It's a "by-trans-for-trans" superhero novel,and its really good trans woman rep. It does include other rep (an NB character in the 2nd book) but their character doesn't really have depth because A) side character and B) the strength of the main character lies in the author pouring her heart and soul into her, and she can't really write an NB character to the same extent because the author is a trans woman. Other than that the series is WONDERFUL, I love it so much

SHAVING:
REMOVING HAIR AT THE ROOTS:
Removing the hair at the roots has the benefit of keeping the hair away longer but it will hurt. You have 2 options: Waxing or Epilating. With waxing I'd recommend sugar due to its easy availabilty, you can make it at home very easily, all you need is lemon juice/vinegar and sugar. It's also better as it can be used at room temperature unlike more traditional wax which must be heated up. Here's a guide on how to make and use it: https://www.wikihow.com/Use-Body-Sugaring-Paste
Epilating on the other hand is using a tool called an epilator which is like an automatic tweezer which grabs the hair and pulls it at the roots. It does hurt, and is slower than wax.
PERMANENT HAIR REMOVAL: This is much more expensive than other options but it lasts. I highly recommend seeing a professional for this as DIY hair removing lasers are either underpowered, ineffecient, dont work, or actually very dangerous to use. You have two options: Laser or Electrolysis. Both arent exactly comfortable but electrolysis hurts more. Laser is most effective on dark hair on fair skin, doesn't really work that well for light hair or people with darker skin, because it relies on the hair follicle absorbing the energy from the laser which doesn't work so well with light hair or dark skin. Electrolysis does not have this drawback as it works by sticking a very fine needle into the hair follicle and delivering a small electric shock. Think of it like an electric tattoo.

Maybe Elizabeth Gurley Flynn, she was an IWW member, a founder of the ACLU, not straight in early-mid 20th century US, and she had a state funeral in red square in the 1960s
Actually to be more specific what makes it great is the author pours all of her experiences as a trans woman into the trans main character, the problem is that this kind of falls apart when she tries to write an NB in the second book, because she doesn't have all that depth of knowledge to put into that character. So it's more of a book about a trans girl, by a trans woman
oh my god the Dreadnought series by April Daniels is brilliant trans representation. It's for trans people by trans people
uhhh off the top of my head I know some stuff that some of my trans friends have used to prevent & regain hairloss. Most of it has been mentioned already in this thread, idk specifics because I've thankfully never had to deal with it.
3)Topical rosemary oil (I know it sounds like an old wives tale but I have seen photographic evidence of it working.)
4)Microneedling using a dermaroller. iirc it increases blood flow, stimulates follicle growth.
