![]() | Skating Out of the Vault: A Trans Woman's Escape from the Game of Masculinityby Brianne BrinkerAs an athletic five-year-old daydreaming under the bed, Brianne Brinker thought she was maybe a girl. But that truth was locked deep inside a vault as she grew up navigating the hyper-masculine world of Division I men's hockey-as a player, coach, husband, father, and college athletic administrator. Skating Out of the Vault is her powerful memoir of identity, resilience, and late-in-life transition. With raw honesty and hard-won grace, Brianne reveals how she broke free from the game of masculinity-and what it really means to win. |

![]() | Everything I Learned, I Learned in a Chinese Restaurantby Curtis ChinNineteen eighties Detroit was a volatile place to live, but above the fray stood a safe haven: Chung’s Cantonese Cuisine, where anyone—from the city’s first Black mayor to the local drag queens, from a big-time Hollywood star to elderly Jewish couples—could sit down for a warm, home-cooked meal. Here was where, beneath a bright-red awning and surrounded by his multigenerational family, filmmaker and activist Curtis Chin came of age; where he learned to embrace his identity as a gay ABC, or American-born Chinese; where he navigated the divided city’s spiraling misfortunes; and where—between helpings of almond boneless chicken, sweet-and-sour pork, and some of his own, less-savory culinary concoctions—he realized just how much he had to offer to the world, to his beloved family, and to himself.
