International Transgender Day of Visibility is an annual event occurring on March 31 dedicated to celebrating transgender people and raising awareness of discrimination faced by transgender people worldwide, as well as a celebration of their contributions to society.
pickKatie Rain Hill is trans and here has laid out her experiences growing up trans with all the highs and lows included. The scene where she discovers the word transgender and is able to read about others who are like her is marvelous. This is definitely YA, but I think that‘s great for the visibility and accessibility it gives her story.
Hello all! Have you read either of these books? I just borrowed them from the library and both are on my ever-expanding #TBR.

pickThe tone was a little too YA for my taste, but this was an enlightening glimpse into what it's like to discover you're trans and embrace your true self. I like that she addressed the problematic acceptance of some trans people more than others because they "pass," fit in with societal beauty standards, are straight, fit neatly into the gender binary, etc. I'd love to read more about that, but perhaps that's not her book to write. #TransBooks
Okay I just wanted to tell you all what I cried about specifically okay 1) I cried when she described hating herself and trying to kill herself when she was a child 2) when she finally told her mom that she was trans and her mom was like "give me a list of what you want to change and I will find a way to get everything for you" SOBBED 3) when an anonymous donor saw her advocacy and paid for her entire operation AND for her to go to college
pickI cried no less than 6 times reading this memoir by a trans girl growing up in Bible Belt Oklahoma. Omg. Read it in one afternoon. #transbooks #queerbooks #overthis (I was going to post a photo of the book but Litsy's new update left out the blur option [or I just can't find it] so I'm not posting any photos of library books bcz I don't want to post photos with the address stickers libraries put on their books. Not impressed with the update lmao)
