Joy of Reading | Donalyn Miller, Teri Lesesne

My plan of action is to vote. I'm privileged to live in a state where I can sit down at home with my ballot and voter's pamphlet. I can take as much time as I need to make informed decisions. We can liberate libraries and librarians in states where books are being banned. Children are not free if they can't see themselves in what they read. #ala #freedomtoread #dayofaction #americanlibraryassociation #vote #blm #lgbtq+ #transrights saves lives.

Detransition, Baby: A Novel | Torrey Peters

My selection of books to read for #transrightsreadathon starting today. For every book read, I will donate £5 to my chosen organisation, Mermaids. This amazing charity supports children and YA.

https://mermaidsuk.org.uk/

I will commit to reading after the 27th to increase my knowledge of trans rights and life.

AllDebooks I have no experience in this area. Ignorance is a dangerous thing. To be able to fully support trans people, I must be more aware of the issues.

Harry Potter | JK Rowling

I just removed all Rowling's books from my Goodreads TBR, and I won't be purchasing any of her books for my 12 yr old, who lost interest anyway between the first two books. If he wants to read them, there's the school library. They won't be anymore brought into my house.

Can anyone recommend a trans author? I'm open.

SleepyDragon I am aware that no action I take affects her. She's more or less untouchable. It doesn't matter. I simply do not want her in my house. Her tweets endanger lives that already live in constant fear. Her audience is huge, and she is doing a lot of damage. I just can't condone it. 5y

Chrissyreadit I‘m curious about what is the underlying function or fear in these beliefs? I have a hard time finding the information. Personally I believe all marginalized groups must be allies - especially as all seem to face the same oppressor(s). 5y

Gaylagal2 I'm so deeply disappointed in her. Now everytime I look at ANY of her books I feel sick and mad. Such an asshole move on her part🤬 5y

xicanti Vivek Shraya is maybe my favourite trans author. She writes fiction, poetry, and criticism. Yoon Ha Lee‘s SF has style to spare, though to be honest I sometimes have no clue what‘s going on with the plot. (The rest of the package is so good this doesn‘t matter.) Anna Zabo‘s Twisted Wishes romances are top notch, if you‘re in the mood for rock stars and BDSM. 5y

Dan_SpiderCrafts I recommend the YA novel, If I Was Your Girl - I hoped J K Rowling could learn something from this 😒 but she seems clear on a view against Trans people being allowed to pass / be their gender, without bringing up the pressures, and harmful attitudes, to reveal their personal details of being transgender.

If I Was Your Girl

janeycanuck Not trans but Tamora Pierce is saying the complete opposite of Rowling right now - she writes YA Fantasy. 5y

Sissy: A Coming-of-Gender Story | Jacob Tobia

Love Jacob. Love this book. #transrights #transequality 💪🏻💙💕

KatieDid927 I received an ARC, I need to get to it soon. 5y

Megabooks @KatieDid927 it‘s the best memoir by someone under 30 that I‘ve read this decade, easily! His writing has a maturity beyond 27 years, but he doesn‘t lose what makes being young and queer unique with his generation. 5y

ness @CouronneDhiver Agreed! I‘m angry that we even need this conversation, but given this administration‘s actions, it needs to be said. 6y
