Related to other thread - any of my fedi-friendos have recommendations for books that feature sapphic / genderqueer / #cliterature and maybe has a good heist?
Preferably not saccharine, heteronormative, or schlogging through trauma?
Like heist + topnotch smut that gold stars the Bechdel test by not even having a cis-dude involved with the main charactersβ dynamic?
***Online event - Zoom link will be sent to you on the day of the event***Cliterature, the Vagina Museum's book club, offers you a generous and satisfying fingering through the feminist pages. Weβll include a mixture of fiction, non-fiction, essays and poetry. Everyone is welcome. Our book club is led by former trustee, Niharika Jain. π In April, the author, TC Oakes-Monger, will be joining us for a Q&A at 8pm π About the bookLONGLISTED FOR THE DIVERSE BOOK AWARDS - YA'Transition has not been something linear for me, my joy has come in seasons.'Now, more than ever, trans people deserve to hear stories of joy and hope, where being trans doesn't have to be defined by fear and dysphoria, but can be experienced through courage, freedom, and the love and acceptance of their chosen families.Through a series of uplifting, generous and beautifully crafted vignettes, T. C. Oakes-Monger gently leads you through the cycle of the seasons - beginning in Autumn and the shedding of leaves and identity, moving through the darkness of Winter, its cold days, and the reality of daily life, into Spring, newness, and change, and ending with the joy of long Summer days and being out and proud - and invites you to find similar moments of joy in your life.Celebratory and empowering, these stories are a reminder of the power joy can bring.About the authorTash started writing as a means of survival. Growing up as a closeted queer in a rural village, moving to London was a game changer. After 4 years they realised medical school wasnβt for them, they came out as non-binary and started work in the NHS improving healthcare for LGBT+ people. Their chosen family are their inspiration for everything. After a rocky start, Tash wants the world to know about the wonder of trans joy.How to get the bookIf you can, try to get your hands on a copy via your local independent bookshop or library as a physical book, e-book or audiobook.As this is a participatory event by nature, not a performance, anyone who doesn't engage - which can via audio, text, or any method accessible to you - will be automatically removed to ensure safety of all participants. Donβt worry if youβve not finished the book in time for the session, having read some or most of it will help you take part in our discussion.

This is one of my favorite threads ever, it has humor, scientific inquiry, and anatomy lessons:
https://masto.ai/@vagina_museum/114115210989466221
It contains sentences like, "This freedom to waggle is simply not available to the clitoral glans," and the hashtag, #cliterature
(I also like how it includes the variant of folks with gender-affirming surgeries into the inquiry)
Editing to add: some of the comments are gold :)
Attached: 1 image We've been receiving a lot of requests for us to answer this crucial question, and we are delighted to attempt to provide you with the information you need as to whether you can read braille with your clit. Screenshot via @[email protected]
And as if THAT isn't enough for you, guess what? We'll also be holding loads of fanny-tastic events throughout the year, including the return of beloved classics like #Cliterature, Sapphic Mix and Mingles, and the Pub(e) Quiz, as well as new events such as Cunty Crafts!
These events tend to sell out quickly - we only mentioned our first Cunty Crafts *once* and all tickets went. So sign up to our email list to hear first about new events and snatch some tickets quickly! http://eepurl.com/de3Byr
