pickIn light of the executive order made by our uninformed new president, declaring that there are only two genders, I would like to help fellow readers become better educated. Here are six books written by and/or centering on the experiences of non-binary and transgender people. I wish I had a recommendation with some intersex representation, but I can‘t think of anything at the moment. Feel free to suggest other great books in the comments below.
AmyG Thank you. 1mo
CaseyTheCanadianLesbrarian I use the hashtag #TransBooks when I post about books by trans authors, there are a lot of great books there. One of my favourite (trans) authors is Kai Cheng Thom. 1mo

Reggie I‘m always shocked when they say their party is about freedom but really it‘s only about guns cause they‘re all too happy to tell women and trans people what to think about their bodies. Thanks for the recs. 1mo
HeatherBookNerd @Reggie yes, this administration seems to be making it a priority on day one to control as many non-male bodies as possible. It‘s been a hard few days. 1mo
Centique Thank you for this post. It is a dark time (even though i am on the other side of the globe from you) and these kinds of posts are little beacons of hope. ♥️💙💛💚 4w
