I know this isn't specifically transfem, in fact the author is transmasc, but I am transfem and this is the biggest trans community I can find. I bought the book "The T in LGBT" by Jamie Raines and I want to share it with my wife. She has a hard time reading paper books, and I saw there was an audiobook version of it on the UK Audible website. I tried to buy it there, but as soon as I entered a Canadian credit card, it told me that it wasn't available in my region.

Anyone know where I can get this audiobook that doesn't put region restrictions on it?

EDIT: In case anyone else comes looking for this audiobook, I found this Italian website that sold it. I signed up for the website with a fake UK address and paid with PayPal. I'm not sure if it was necessary to give a UK address, but that's what I did. After that, I was then able to listen to it with the Kobo Reader on my iPhone.

Everywhere I can find it seems to be restricted specifically from Canada. You may have to make use of a VPN. It's listed on American audible but not Canadian, and its on the Google play store but is restricted in Canada. There's also a version on Rakuten Kobo, but same story.

I found a way to get the book! I found an Italian store that sold Rakuten Kobo books. I edited the OP with more details.

Hey, thanks for taking a look. I tried to use a VPN to buy it from Amazon UK, but they stopped me when I tried to pay with a Canadian credit card. I'd probably have to make use of some sort of virtual card or something.
