A twenty-one-year-old kid from rural nowhere teaching a mountain of a man from deep Georgia how to read Japanese comics in a queer bar basement. That's the whole story. That's the whole revolution. Scissors and tape on a bedroom wall, updated for a generation that draws its own mirrors. #QueerFiction #LGBTQ #MangaCulture #ChosenFamily #QueerArt #TransLiterature

Any recommendations ? For Xmas, I want to buy one or several novels featuring trans characters, in English or French, for my mid-20s trans daughter.

The article below lays out dozens of concrete actions you can take to preemptively combat literary censorship
"Create a Microlibrary. Organize locally. Every person can take these two actions American or not, and the more people who take them, the more effective they will be. Fascism is a global threat. You can start today."

Just a reminder that my novel OKPsyche will be coming out in about 2 months! Trans, trippy, and gut wrenching.
“OKPsyche is a spectacular novel, like a shard of stained glass in brilliant reds and greens and purples. The book is a chronicle of hope and hurt and freedom, suffused with anxiety and grace, and told in prose that just won’t quit. It’s major. You’ll remember where you were when you read it.”
— Isaac Fellman, author of Dead Collections #transgender #transliterature #sff #magicrealism -
Radfem anti-trans literature I’ve read:
Gender Hurts: A Feminist Analysis of the Politics of Transgenderism, by Sheila Jeffreys
The Transsexual Empire: The Making of the She-Male, by Janice Raymond
I haven’t read Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters by Abigail Shrier just yet but it’s on my list.
See, unlike radfems who refuse to read trans-positive literature and who refuse to read intersectional feminist books that (gasp) defend men, I am not afraid to read books by people I disagree with.
It’s why I’m able to debate radfems so well – I’ve read their literature. They haven’t read mine, and are often completely unaware of the criticisms of the history of their own movement.
If you would like to read some trans-positive books and intersectional feminism, check out these books:
The Will To Change: Men, Masculinity and Love by bell hooks
On Intersectionality: Essential Writings, by Kimberlé Crenshaw
Stone Butch Blues, by Leslie Feinberg
And, one book that isn’t specifically under the umbrella of intentional intersectional feminism. I include this one because it was so influential on me as a young teen when I read it:
I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou
If anyone has additional trans-positive or intersectional feminism books they recommend, please put them in the comments below!

Lavery's _Something That May Shock and Discredit You_ has been a joy to read as a medieval studies nerd.
```
LADY BERTILAK: whatcha kissin'
GAWAIN: hm? oh nothing
LADY BERTILAK: let's make out
```Nothing has ever summed up that poem so succinctly in all my years of reading its various translations. Highly recommend reading the whole thing. #theLibrary #transliterature #queer #medievalstudies

Do I know anyone who has read this and can comment? The first person POV appeals to me.

Speaking of literature recommendations: I'm currently on the last pages of Alexandra Hamer's "To be a girl" about a young trans woman in the Victorian era. It's a big recommendation!
But be aware that there's a short episode involving knifes and blood. But it's not very explicit.
Won't go into more detail because it would be a spoiler.
