Here are my picks for the 🏳️‍⚧️ @trreadathon.bsky.social I plan on reading more throughout the year to cover all the categories, but heres what I can realistically read this month! 💙🩷

I present to you, 100 books with trans rep (trans umbrella, author/MC) ahead of the @trreadathon.bsky.social including some from the community recommendations event I hosted with @gracereadsaudio.bsky.social - thanks to everyone who came.

never again do I want to hear “women are too emotional to be world leaders” after that vengeful egotistical disgrace sits hunched over in that chair
