🔥important🔥 since authors who’ve written books w/trans MCs, but who’ve not disclosed their gender, are being included on lists of trans authors in the #TransRightsReadathon, and this could lead to forced outing, I suggest opening the guidelines to “trans books” generally 1/
So previously my messaging was “let’s read books by trans authors,” but many lists are including books by authors who don’t self-identify as trans, but write trans characters. So if you’re doing that, just say you’re reading “trans books” or “books with trans rep.” 2/
Again, I’m not in charge of this Readathon. I threw out the idea to begin with, but each person is running their own campaign. But for whatever my voice is worth, I’d like to use it to ensure we’re not pressuring anyone to out themselves!
When I first proposed this Readathon, in my wildest dreams, I thought maybe I’d get 20 other booktokkers to do it with me. I had no inkling of how massive this campaign would become, and the ramifications of that amount of visibility 😰 so let’s adjust accordingly!!!
