I haven’t been reading much recently- but I still want to support the #transrightsreadathon
Here are some books from my shelf that have trans characters/authors/themes.
I haven’t decided which organisation to donate to yet so I’ll update that later 🏳️⚧️
What’s on your list?

Sad that human authors have to do this but glad that something is being done to make the distinction obvious 😮💨😪
We are thrilled to share that our Human Authored scheme is now live.
This scheme has been designed for the benefit of SoA members, to help identify works written by humans in a market increasingly flooded by AI-generated books.

I spend so long researching agents that on the rare occasion that I think:
“Argh! You have SUCH good taste and I like your ethos and I think you’ll get what I’m trying to do with my novel. Omg I hope you feel the same.”
I should be allowed to say it 😂

It’s like if I Who Have Never Known Men was extremely queer with slow burn sapphic romance and the unbridling of women’s rage.

Just a quick note to other #writers that you can opt out of AI “features” on MS 365 by downgrading subscription to “classic” under account management.
I did it last year when I noticed my account was set to renew with a higher price for new features (that I didn’t want!).

Listening to Judith Bulter again to get back into the headspace to edit my novel Nascent (which has themes of gender socialisation)
I love listening to audiobooks as I knit - particularly a simple, repetitive pattern like this vest.
