A twenty-one-year-old kid from rural nowhere teaching a mountain of a man from deep Georgia how to read Japanese comics in a queer bar basement. That's the whole story. That's the whole revolution. Scissors and tape on a bedroom wall, updated for a generation that draws its own mirrors. #QueerFiction #LGBTQ #MangaCulture #ChosenFamily #QueerArt #TransLiterature

Any recommendations ? For Xmas, I want to buy one or several novels featuring trans characters, in English or French, for my mid-20s trans daughter.

Today, allow me to your sense of safety. Do you know what your cat girls are reading? I do. It's my novella.

Yes. The rumors are true. There's an on page cat in Opus. He's a good cat. You should preorder for him.

(03 Jun) Teaching Transliterature: How a Cleveland-area academic pioneered a field of study to amplify voices of change

“I had to plant a flag saying transliterature exists, it is important, and it is worthy of study.”

The article below lays out dozens of concrete actions you can take to preemptively combat literary censorship

"Create a Microlibrary. Organize locally. Every person can take these two actions American or not, and the more people who take them, the more effective they will be. Fascism is a global threat. You can start today."

Radfem anti-trans literature I’ve read:

Gender Hurts: A Feminist Analysis of the Politics of Transgenderism, by Sheila Jeffreys

The Transsexual Empire: The Making of the She-Male, by Janice Raymond

I haven’t read Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters by Abigail Shrier just yet but it’s on my list.

See, unlike radfems who refuse to read trans-positive literature and who refuse to read intersectional feminist books that (gasp) defend men, I am not afraid to read books by people I disagree with.

It’s why I’m able to debate radfems so well – I’ve read their literature. They haven’t read mine, and are often completely unaware of the criticisms of the history of their own movement.

If you would like to read some trans-positive books and intersectional feminism, check out these books:

The Will To Change: Men, Masculinity and Love by bell hooks

On Intersectionality: Essential Writings, by Kimberlé Crenshaw

Stone Butch Blues, by Leslie Feinberg

And, one book that isn’t specifically under the umbrella of intentional intersectional feminism. I include this one because it was so influential on me as a young teen when I read it:

I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou

If anyone has additional trans-positive or intersectional feminism books they recommend, please put them in the comments below!
