books for trans awareness week 2025 🩷🩵🤍

good morning, my wonderful bookish bats. Transgender Awareness Week is observed November 13 - 19, but we shouldn't leave it as a one-week celebration. instead, we should read queer ALL year. take action. spark awareness. listen to stories and experiences from the transgender community and their allies. advocate the issues of violence, discrimination, and prejudice. you can educate yourself by exploring resources from GLAAD or learning from your amazing transgender community on Booksta. otherwise, here are a few books featuring trans characters or written by trans authors to add to your tbr. 🩷🩵🤍

tomorrow is also the Transgender Day of Remembrance, when we remember and honor the lives of trans members of our community. to acknowledge those taken from us too soon, you can explore The Trans Remembrance Project or Trans Lives Matter - TDoR Reports. thank you to @queerliblib for directing to me to these resources. you can find more trans books for trans awareness week through their Trans Stories list on Libby.

I recently read Volatile Memory and had the joy of reading A Gentleman's Gentleman earlier this year. if a story you love is missing from this list of trans books, let me know! help me grow my queer bookshelf!❗

what's your favorite book featuring a trans character, or which of these trans books will you add to your tbr for trans awareness week? ❓

“I wanted to live among books.”

―A History of Reading by Alberto Manguel

Mohamed Aziz, a 72-year-old bookseller, living in Rabat, Morocco, spends 6 to 8 hours a day reading books. Having read over 5000 books in French, Arabic, and English, he remains the oldest bookseller in Rabat, spending more than 43 years in the same location. When asked about leaving his books unattended outside, where they could potentially be stolen, he responded that those who can't read don't steal books, and those who can, aren't thieves.

It's so fun to watch all the reels and tik toks (I fell into the trap) of people surprised and scandalized by Benedict's offer to Sophie.

Sometimes I totally forget not everyone reads the books before watching the adaptation.

So funny.
