Trans authors you should read! This is a very American based list. I think it is very cool and important to read Sarah McBride now that she is the first Trans senator! Read her life in her own words as you see her making headlines for wanting to use the toilet at work....
Others to read who I love:
Akwaeke Emezi - Vivek is my absolute fav
Imogen Binnie
Nicola Dinan
Janet Mock
Aiden Thomas

JamieArc Sarah McBride ❤️ My husband worked with her when he was working for the Human Rights Campaign. 3d
ChaoticMissAdventures @JamieArc great...now I am jealous of your husband 😂. I have been a huge fan of hers since I first started following her career in maybe 2016-17. Just an extraordinary person, what we need so badly in politics. 3d

ChaoticMissAdventures @BookmarkTavern yes!! Aiden lives in my town and I see him often at book events, he is so nice 😍 3d
BookmarkTavern Oh my gosh, I‘m so jealous! 3d
lil1inblue Vivek Oji was such an excellent book. 🩵 3d
Kristy_K I just bought Tomorrow Will Be Different! And this reminds me I‘ve been wanting to read Redefining Realness. 3d
ChaoticMissAdventures @Kristy_K I love Janet Mock, all of her books are very good. She is so impressive, and this first one of hers really tells you how she got to be where she is now (well 2014) I thought the book was very good. 3d
Suet624 Great post! Thank you. 💕 1d

Today is national Trans day of visibility. My son came out to us in 2013 at 11 years old. I admire him for being able to be his authentic self. Trans people represent 1-2% of the population. They want to live life just as you we do, and have the same rights that we do.

If the love for your child is contingent on them being a cis-gender heterosexual then you are the problem. Not the transgender person who wants to use the bathroom.

dabbe Bravo! 🤗 to you, your family, and your son! ♥️👊🏻💙 4d

The Spirit Bares Its Teeth | Andrew Joseph White

Pickpick

A young trans man in Victorian England with violet eyes is sent to an institution for girls with "veil sickness" when he's caught trying to commune with spirits. The institution and being forced to live as the girl he is not would be bad enough, but something even more sinister is going on here--and Silas is determined to find out what. A dark and heartbreaking read, mostly because despite the supernatural elements so much of it is based in truth.

Soft pick because this is a frustrating, sometimes painful read. It's a great illustration of the phrase “don't be your child's first bully,“ though the mom certainly isn't the worst; she doesn't put her child in conversion camp or pray over him or kick him out, just refuses to accept his name and identity. Just.

It's certainly a valid story and she does learn and grow, becoming a “SuperAlly!“ in the end. Includes a letter from the son.

CarolynM I hadn‘t heard that phrase before, but I think it is apt. In my view too many parents are exactly that☹️ 1w
CarolynM And it goes well beyond issues like sexuality and gender. 1w

The Spirit Bares Its Teeth | Andrew Joseph White

Finished My Best Friend's Honeymoon this afternoon and started The Spirit Bares Its Teeth. I adored Andrew Joseph White's dystopian religious supernatural horror novel so I'm hoping this one will be just as good. Then I've got a historical fiction book queued up to start after that. #TransRightsReadathon

You fear that Alex will be marginalized, but the first and foremost marginalization is family rejection.

#TransRightsReadathon late to the readathon & late to getting to this title that‘s been on my TBR for a long time. Might get to some trans nonfiction, my reading time hasn‘t been as much as I would like it to be lately.

Librarybelle I attended a virtual book discussion of this hosted by Cambridge University Libraries…fascinating discussion, and I placed it on hold at my local library! 2w
Ruthiella I loved this book. 👍 2w
Leftcoastzen @Ruthiella I‘m enjoying it so far! 2w
CarolynM Plenty to think about in this book. Loved it. 2w
