The Trans Rights Readathon launches this Friday! This decentralized readathon helps raise money for great trans causes while reading books by trans authors.
This year, I’ve pledged to read 8 books and aim to raise $4,000 for the Lavender Rights Project!
Please donate to help me reach this goal!
Thanks to generous donations, we’ve raised $695 so far.
You can boost this TikTok, Mastodon, BlueSky, Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn, and follow my reading updates on TikTok, Goodreads, and Storygraph.
I’ll be reading:
- Bad Boy by Elliot Wake
- Boys Weekend by Mattie Lubchansky
- Heartstopper Volume 2 by Alice Oseman
- Heartstopper Volume 3 by Alice Oseman
- Heartstopper Volume 4 by Alice Oseman
- Tell Me I’m Worthless by Alison Rumfitt
- The Nearest Exit May Be Behind You by S. Bear Bergman
- The Spirit Bares Its Teeth by Andrew Joseph White
By donating, you’ll help trans people in need connect legal services, economic justice needs, and housing. The Lavender Rights Project is a wonderful nonprofit created for and by trans people. They serve the Puget Sound Area and do some legal work nationally. One of their current major efforts (in collaboration with Chief Seattle Club and King County) is building a 35-unit building providing permanent supportive housing for QT2BIPOC in Seattle’s Capitol Hill neighborhood.
The Readathon provides a source of joy and celebration, which as a nonbinary trans masculine person, let’s have more joy, please! It’s a chance to uplift trans authors and provide material support to trans people. Let’s drown out the hate and keep on dancing.
