Hey, I'm Jamie, a 29-year-old trans guy from the UK. I've been transitioning for 12 years now after realising I was trans (by accident!) at sixteen years old. I knew I was a boy since the age of four, but realised whilst growing up that I was different. It was only in my teens that I found the words to express who I was and what I needed to do. Since then, I've been on testosterone for more than a decade - I know, I can't believe it either - I've also had top and bottom surgery and legally changed my sex, so I know a few things about the transitioning process and being trans!I want to welcome you to The T in LGBT where you can explore and learn about so many topics surrounding gender identity: realising you're trans, starting hormones, considering surgery, and everything in between. Whether you're questioning your own identity and are looking for advice on certain stages of transition, or whether you're wanting to learn about the trans experience to support someone or understand allyship, I hope this book can be your one-stop guide to everything trans related.And don't just take my word for it either - this book is packed full of advice, tips, and the personal stories of a range of trans voices, because no one journey is the same.

A good lawn is very often the central feature of a modern garden, whether in town or the countryside. It therefore needs much more care and very often extra expert care than many of the other plants in the garden. The properly maintained lawn is no longer just an area of grass but the backdrop or canvas for the rest of the garden. If the lawn looks good, so will the rest of the garden. Although this manual has been written with the professional gardener or aspiring lawn care specialist in mind, many of the aspects of lawn care within the volume are no more than practical advice which will be of interest and use to both the professional and amateur. This manual is business-oriented and in fact starts with generic questions about starting up a business plan and focuses down to launching a properly constituted lawn care business. It also outlines all the pitfalls of not only being in business for yourself but the implications of employing people, as well as all the anticipated issues which can result from contracting. It is constructed in such a way that whether you are thinking of starting a lawn care business or whether you are already involved, there will be something of use to you. Everything is included from how to go about your accounting to making your business legal...with even a section on the correct tools to acquire. It is written by an experienced gardener who has created a successful lawn care business and who is now passing on his experience by highlighting both the positive and negative aspects of not only working within the horticultural industry but how to go about building a business from scratch. The manual is written in a very readable and sympathetic way rather than in a technical and prescriptive style, so that it provides both an informal and informative reference source for all professional and semi-professional gardeners, without ignoring the amateur!

"A practical and highly accessible guide for those navigating society as a trans person or trying to gain understanding of the trans experience, from psychologist, content creator, and LGBTQ+ advocate Jamie Raines..."--

The traditional Garden Lawn has become an indispensable part of a garden. It is a place for recreation, relaxation as well as a vantage point for a gardener to admire his work! There are many books on Lawn Care. Many are too long and technical, others are too simplistic. 'The Lazy Person's Common Sense Guide to the Business of Lawn Care' bridges that gap. It is neither for experts nor for dummies...It is for both. It is a comparatively short Lawn Guide but within its pages is everything you will need to know about caring for the most important part of your garden. It is not prescriptive but tells you what is important as well as what is optional. The traditional grass lawn has been around for many years. In fact, it has been a feature of most gardens since the invention of the lawnmower because without some sort of mechanical cutter, it would be impossible to even contemplate a sort of carpet-like, close-cropped patch of grass which seems to be the feature of over 90% of all domestic gardens. It is one of those aspects of the garden which, in spite of changes in taste and fashion, has managed to hold on against the onslaught of everything from decking to coloured paving, ponds, water features and for the other transient crazes which gardening has become prone to in the last hundred years. 'The Lazy Person's Common Sense Guide to the Business of Lawn Care' covers all aspects of lawn maintenance, including actually laying down the lawn using turf or seed, caring for it and mowing it, together with a chapter on how to treat it with the changing seasons. There is even be a chapter on how to deal with lawn pests, ranging from weeds to ants and moles! It is written in an easy and engagingly informal style which means that you unlike other gardening-related books, you will read it and remember it! You will wonder how you managed without it!
