Today more than ever I want show my support for the trans community especially here on bookstagram. As much as I love Harry Potter, I cannot turn a blind eye to the offensive statements made by JKR. So instead of celebrating a fictional character’s birthday, I was encouraged by @bwreviewsblog to share books written by trans and nonbinary authors. #transstacks . 💙When The Moon Was Ours (nonbinary author, trans MC) 💗 Docile (trans author, cis MC) 🤍 All Boys Aren’t Blue (cis author, trans side character) 💗 Red, White & Royal Blue (nonbinary author, cis MC) 💙 TBR: Cemetery Boys (trans author, trans MC) . What are some #OwnVoices trans books you’ve read? I realized most of the books I’ve read that feature trans or nonbinary characters are written by cis authors. Share your recommendations! . . . . #transbooks #transauthors #diversebooks #weneeddiversebooks #transownvoices #transgender #nonbinary #gendernonconforming #bookstagram #bookcommunity #books #bookspines #translivesmatter #bookrecommendations #happybirthdayharrypotter #harrypotter #happeebirthdaeharry #beautybookcorner (at San Francisco, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDVPt1cAows/?igshid=181u9lvxh8670

Trans lives matter. Q: What is your favorite #ownvoices trans book? @bwreviewsblog created an initiative to post #transstacks today, July 31st. A lot of people are going to be posting about #HappyBirthdayHarryPotter - but instead of JKR's hate, I want to spread love for my #trans friends and let them know that they are valid and they matter. #translivesmatter - Prioritize real trans lives over a fictional birthday. So today, I want to share with you one of my recent favorite trans books - #FelixEverAfter is such a heartwarming coming of age story about someone who is Black, queer, and transgender – and questioning his gender throughout the story as well. Felix is such a likeable and relatable character and I think a lot of 17-year olds will be able to relate to him. Felix doesn’t hide the fact he’s transgender or queer, hes proud of his identity. His dad supports Felix, but is also struggling to accept Felix as who he is today and Felix is (understandably) frustrated by this. He refuses to say “son” or use Felix’s name, and instead says “kid". A lot of this story takes place with Felix and his friends at their summer art program, preparing them to apply for colleges. Felix wants to be an illustrator and a lot of this story focus on his art and I absolutely loved that. The cover should’ve been a hint, but I didn’t realize how much this story focused on art and I really enjoyed that. I enjoyed discovering this story going in without knowing too much, and I think that’s how you, reader, should go into this story as well. There is a lot more I could say about this, but I’ll leave it as is. Felix isn’t perfect, he’s growing and learning and a teenager and this story feels so realistic. As always, please seek out ownvoice reviewers – those who are trans, Black, and/or queer. #LetsGetLitBabes - Keep putting in the work #BookNerdsAndFriends - Love #shelvesofdiversity - #coverlove #RFABJuly20 - Read this month #bookishjulove - Fave read of the month #KacenCallender #bookstagramflatlay #booksandflowers #diversebooks #diverserecs #BookRecommendations #lgbtqbooks #diversifybookstagram #PrideReads #PrideBooks #LQBTQAuthors #LQBTQ #LQBTQIAPD #PrideBookRecs (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDT18yjg7US/?igshid=1j408vae2nax5
