     @Terra
     I agree with Terra's take. And although legally, I guess copying and distributing FTW isn't necessarily stealing, it does come across as an ethical slight against the trans community and Mira's legacy.

     @terraboops @thejessiekirk

     I think the point was not so much whether you're stealing it from a legal perspective, but that Mira wanted it valued, and that her family, CJ in particular, are continuing to do a lot of work that helps the community that would be nice to value as well. People started passing around FTW more like it was a flyer on the street and that kind of devalues both it and CJs current work. That's my read, anyway.

     @thejessiekirk uhm that's confusing since @siege posted recently explicitly saying not to steal it?

     she said that Mira put a price on it because she wanted people to value it.

     I can't find the post and i really don't care to argue with you on this.

     @terraboops The book is licensed under a CC0 license, so it's public domain. So you aren't "stealing" it by copying it, are you?

     bought my 5th copy of Fucking Trans Women to send to a friend <3

     pro-tip: if you can afford it, buy FTW and send it to trans women earlier in their journey.

     remember how wonderful it was the first time you read it??? give that gift to someone else :)

     ... and fucking buy the book mkay? promise me lovelies - you can pirate whatever you want from big bad corporations, but CJ doesn't deserve that and it is offensive to Mira's memory not to pay for it.
