We requested that our local library refresh its collection of the Dragonbreath books by @tkingfisher.com and now our seven year old is gobbling them up. Yes, my husband and I both work at the library, but anyone can make purchase suggestions. Try it!

there is this constant lurid fantasy that cis men will pretend to be trans women to gain covert access to girls and women because in this scenario we're imagining predators are not the fathers or grandfathers or teachers or priests or cops who are already granted that access. come the fuck on.
