From stories of struggle, change and transformation to alien tea parties and glittering she-gods, We Twinkle Like Gold is the collective expression of 16 trans and gender-diverse folk who met on Zoom in 2021 to write together.

We Twinkle Like Gold is the first project from A Thousand Threads: Stories of Us, an ongoing writing initiative creating spaces for trans and gender-diverse peer connection and collaboration.
