Trans Rights Readathon

It's Day 1 of the #transrightsreadathon (March 20-27) hosted by Sim Kern @sim_bookstagrams_badly

Join me in reading and amplifying trans stories. The goal of the readathon is to encourage people to read books by trans, genderqueer, and nonbinary authors and donate to charities that support people in these communities.⁠
