I'm still reading my fourth #TransRightsReadathon book (Pretty by KB Brookins -- it's intense and can't be gulped down) so I've donated $40 to the Transgender Law Canter and $40 to a local organization that I've found helpful.

I haven't seen a whole lot of posts about the readathon this year, I hope people are talking about it other places.

My third #TransRightsReadathon book was The Left Hand of Dog, an excellent recommendation from @Knien . It's just the kind of audiobook I like -- lots of distinct voices, and all British as a plus. 😂 The story is good silly fun, full of geeky references -- Spock's brain, I about died! -- but also has a lot of humanity, as femme-agender-asexual-disabled Lem finds herself feeling home at last with the motliest crew of silly aliens imaginable.

I think it might have felt too twee for my tastes in print, but the audio really sells it. First in a series.

"What makes queer- and trans-antagonism from Black Folks especially hurtful is the cognitive dissonance. It's as if Black queer and trans people are somehow outside the normal that Black Liberation would bring. It's as if there is such a thing as safe Black people. We're all unsafe in the eyes of anti-Black U.S.A. We're all unsafe no matter how cishet or respectable we appear."

I tried The Burnt Toast B&B for the #TransRightsReadathon but it's not really my cuppa so I'm DNFing. I think I originally bought it because I wanted to support including a trans character in an m/m romance series, so I guess my work there is done. 😂

Still reading Pretty by KB Brookins, which is really powerful writing.
