It’s Trans Rights Readathon time soon!
For those unaware, Trans Rights Readathon is a decentralised event to support trans books and authors + raise money for trans organisations and charities. Since I’m currently unemployed (my secret to reading so many books), I’m unable to participate in the donating part personally, however I’m hoping to make up for it by uplifting trans authors all month long. Though I will be working with local organisations I volunteer at to raise awareness for TDOV as well.
I hope others join me this year because trans authors and books cannot get enough support in this political climate!
To that end, here’s some books you can reading to cross of your bingo board!
