This was/is a magnificent post, Laura -- WOW. What a resource. (And, so happy to see Room of One's Own of your list of bookstores participating in the Readathon -- I hope to make it there this week to pick up Voice of the Fish and How Far the Light Reaches and whatever else catches my eye.)

It's a worthy bucket list bookstore. I've been going there since I was a little kid (two locations ago 😊) and it just keeps getting better.

Oh my gosh. This is a wonderful list--thank you for sharing Laura! One of my kids is trans and since making the transition he is so much happier. I'll never understand the hate.

I donated $25 to the Transgender Legal Defense and Education Fund and $25 to my local LGBTQ+ center. I’ve been sharing this newsletter everywhere because what an amazing resource! Thank you for taking the time to compile it

INCREDIBLE! What a list of books, and what a list of organizations! Thank you for compiling both. I donated to the Transgender Law Center. Also, the tulips were glorious.

This is absolutely incredible. You have done a great service by putting this list together. As a lover of book lists and queer lit you made my day/week/month/year!

Thank you for this list! I just bought "All boys aren't blue". Coincidentally, Roxane Gay is featuring "Hijab Butch Blues" this month, so I've got that one as well. Looking forward to getting stuck into these and learning!

Hurray, happy reading! I loved Hijab Butch Blues and I'm so glad it's Roxane Gay's book club pick this month—it deserves all the praise and attention.
