T4T is sexy, proactive, and unapologetically queer.

T4T is a love letter to the trans community, celebrating trans-for-trans sex, love, and friendship. Overflowing with sweaty sonnets, praise songs for heavy petting, and odes to queer outcasts with Southern twangs, T4T has been called "both a celebration and a bittersweet exploration of what it's like to be queer and trans today" by award-winning comics author Archie Bongiovanni and a reminder that "pleasure is a human right... beyond sexual... the pleasure of life, of embodiment, of safety, and of care and attention" by poet Emilia Phillips.

Monday Hakala (they/them) is a queer, nonbinary poet raised in the South. After a brief stop in the medical field, Monday re-pursued a passion for writing and teaching through a post-baccalaureate degree in creative writing at UNC Asheville. They are drawn to expressions of bodies as nature, self-mythologizing beyond trauma, and developing spaces of queerness, community, and abundant joy. They are currently exploring rest as a means to deprioritize capitalistic structures in favor of sustainable creativity. Monday's work has been most recently featured in Sundress Publication's Transmasculine Poetics: Filling the Gaps in Literature & the Silences Around Us.
