My first two reads for #TransRightsReadathon! One fiction and one nonfic (I always read different books at different times of the day).

Our Lives, Our Words is a collection of life stories from aravani (hijra) women from Tamil Nadu, compiled by one of them. It is touching read.

Todd and I watched Ned walk through the crowd, talking to anyone who would listen, warning them about demons. He got a lot of raised eyebrows and cold shoulders.
