For those who don’t know, the trans rights readathon is running from 21st-31st March this year. It aims to encourage the reader community to read and uplift books written by and/or featuring trans, nonbinary, 2Spirit, and gender-nonconforming authors and characters.
I’ve had a pretty slow start to my reading goal this year, so seeing this pop up on my Tiktok is the perfect motivation!
