We're keeping things very chill this year. Just post using the #TRANSreadathon hashtag that weekend, and be sure to check the hashtag to cheer on others - and hopefully find more books to add to your neverending TBR piles! 😁
#TRANSreadathon, a #24HourReadathon focused on reading books by trans authors, is back! From July 30-31, 2022, we'll be reading, sharing, and celebrating great reads by trans voices. (As in the great, big trans umbrella: any author who isn't cis!) Choose your own start/end time.

Like a lot of other trans people, I’m disheartened by the lack of action or even awareness on the part of our “allies” as we face a torrent of anti-trans laws. With you, my cis friend, or friend of a friend, I want to share this Elie Wiesel quote:
FYI though, if you're trans and searching for "look for the helpers" hope, as those Alabama anti-trans bills have looked more and more certain to pass in the last hour or so, my phone has been basically exploding with notifications about sign ups to help on @TransFamNet
