My Trans Rights Readathon TBR

Infatuation. Reincarnation. Damnation.

Gem Echols is a nonbinary Seminole teen living in the tiny town of Gracie, Georgia. Known for being their peers’ queer awakening, Gem leans hard on charm to disguise the anxious mess they are beneath. The only person privy to their authentic self is another trans kid, Enzo, who’s a thousand long, painful miles away in Brooklyn.

But even Enzo doesn’t know about Gem’s dreams, haunting visions of magic and violence that have always felt too real. So how the hell does Willa Mae Hardy? The strange new girl in town acts like she and Gem are old companions, and seems to know things about them they’ve never told anyone else.

When Gem is attacked by a stranger claiming to be the Goddess of Death, Willa Mae saves their life and finally offers some answers. She and Gem are reincarnated gods who’ve known and loved each other across lifetimes. But Gem – or at least who Gem used to be - hasn’t always been the most benevolent deity. They’ve made a lot of enemies in the pantheon—enemies who, like the Goddess of Death, will keep coming.

It’s a good thing they’ve still got Enzo. But as worlds collide and the past catches up with the present, Gem will discover that everyone has something to hide.

"Ich weiß, dass du Angst hast. Aber diese Angst könnte verhindern, dass wir etwas richtig Gutes erleben"

Lark Winters größter Traum ist es, Autor*in zu werden. Aber dey erhält eine Agenturabsage nach der anderen. Zu jung, zu queer, zu emotional - niemand will die Relevanz der Geschichte für nichtbinäre Menschen wie Lark erkennen. Doch als plötzlich ein Tweet von Lark über unerwiderte Liebe viral geht, ist deren Traum zum Greifen nah. Endlich bekommt Lark die Aufmerksamkeit, die dey sich die ganze Zeit gewünscht hat. Einziges Problem: Lark hat den Tweet nie geschrieben! Er stammt eigentlich von Larks ehemals bestem Freund Kasim, der seit einem Jahr nicht mehr wirklich mit demm redet. Lark muss sich entscheiden: einen Traum leben, der auf einer Lüge basiert, oder herausfinden, was hinter Kasims Tweet steckt und was mit ihrer Freundschaft passiert ist ...

Three years ago, Alice spent one night in an abandoned house with her friends, Ila and Hannah. Since then, Alice’s life has spiraled. She lives a haunted existence, selling videos of herself for money, going to parties she hates, drinking herself to sleep. Memories of that night torment Alice, but when Ila asks her to return to the House, to go past the KEEP OUT sign and over the sick earth where teenagers dare each other to venture, Alice knows she must go. Together, Alice and Ila must face the horrors that happened there, must pull themselves apart from the inside out, put their differences aside, and try to rescue Hannah, whom the House has chosen to make its own. Cutting, disruptive, and darkly funny, Tell Me I’m Worthless is a vital work of trans fiction that examines the devastating effects of trauma and how fascism makes us destroy ourselves and each other.

When seventh-grader Ash, his crush Eleanor, and their friends are transported to a girls-only imaginary world, Ash must come to terms with the fact that he may actually be a transgender girl. Full of wonder, humor, and heart, Girl Haven is the newest original story from the author of Lumberjanes.

Three years ago, Ash's mom, Kristin, left home and never came back. Now, Ash lives in the house where Kristin grew up. All of her things are there. Her old room, her old clothes, and the shed, where she spent her childhood creating a fantasy world called Koretris.

Ash knows all about Koretris: how it's a haven for girls, with no men or boys allowed, and filled with fanciful landscapes and creatures. When Ash's friends decide to try going to Koretris, using one of Kristin's spellbooks, Ash doesn't think anything will happen. But the spell works, and Ash discovers that the world Kristin created is actually a real place, with real inhabitants and very real danger.

But if Koretris is real, why is Ash there? Everyone has always called Ash a boy. Ash uses he/him pronouns. Shouldn't the spell have kept Ash out? And what does it mean if it let Ash in?

I no longer recommend this author's books.

Laced with romance, gothic imagery, Catholic mysticism, diaspora, and horror…

When lonely transgender exorcist, Colin Hart, finds himself challenged by an unruly haunted house in Gideon, Colorado, he’s kept awake by ghosts, demons, ghouls, and the handsome nonbinary owner of the house, Bishop Martínez.

Unlike the simple hauntings Colin is accustomed to, Bishop’s house is a living beacon, attracting a plethora of inhuman creatures, including a vengeful wolf-headed spirit who might be the key to quieting their sleepless nights.

But as a heartbreaking mystery unravels, Colin comes face-to-face with the past Bishop tried to bury, opens a closet full of bloody skeletons, and trips into an accidental romance.

As paranormally skilled as Colin might be, this particular haunting may be too messy for him to handle…

A groundbreaking memoir about being a trans teen, in the vein of FUN HOME and FLAMER... and at the same time entirely its own.

Lewis has a few things to say to his younger teen self. He knows she hates her body. He knows she's confused about who to snog. He knows she's really a he and will ultimately realize this... but she's going to go through a whole lot of mess (some of it funny, some of it not funny at all) to get to that point. Lewis is trying to tell her this... but she's refusing to listen.

In WELCOME TO ST. HELL, author-illustrator Lewis Hancox takes readers on the hilarious, heartbreaking, and healing path he took to make it past trauma, confusion, hurt, and dubious fashion choices in order to become the man he was meant to be. It's a remarkable, groundbreaking graphic memoir from an unmistakably bold new voice in comics.

Girl Haven by Lilah Sturges

Trans rep: 8/10

General enjoyment: 6/10

Age rating: all ages

Girl haven is a story about a trans girl named Ash who has been unsure about her gender for a while and enters high school without a clear idea of who she is and who she wants to be friends with. When she and a group of her friends get transported to a magical world that is supposed to only be for girls, she starts to realize that those feelings shes been hiding deep inside might really mean something!!! Anyways its a cute story, though relatively short and not very in depth. The actual plot is sort of childish imo, and leaves the reader feeling sort of disappointed (though younger readers may enjoy it a lot). Also I really want a sequel that gives some more depth to the relationship between Ash and a girl she seems to like, as well as maybe seeing Ash start to deal with aspects of transition (in whatever way she wished to do that) in the real world. Regardless though its a fun little read if you are looking for a cute and engaging story about a trans girl coming into herself and understanding her identity.

I finished Girl Haven and I liked the concept, but I thought it was just too rushed. It could have stood to flesh out the world, give each character a more defined role, and set up future plot points better. It's one of those books that's good enough, but that's more frustrating than if it had just been bad because it could have been great.

A really simple example:

When we finally meet Queen Cassandra at the end of the novel, Ash runs to her, thinking Queen Cassandra is her mother. But we've never seen Ash's mother before this point, so we can't experience what Ash is experiencing. How much more emotionally powerful would it be if we had seen Ash's mother (perhaps a family photo during the argument with Ash's dad about getting rid of Ash's mother's stuff) and then the audience shares that moment of thinking Queen Cassandra is Ash's mother?

Ash's mother in general gets very little characterization, especially given how important she is to this world. Finding out about her death would have been more impactful and the whole mother-daughter relationship would have been more meaningful if we'd known literally anything about her.

Wooh Tucker’s finally done! Did he sew all the patches for Team Phantom? Absolutely. Is he bros with Wulf? Yes. (The guy saved his afterlife and is one of the few (friendly) people that understand *Esperanto. And they’re both carnivores, need I say more?)

Now who to draw next? Sam or Valerie…🤔

Just saw a comment on the Gilmore Girls subreddit that Jess was exactly like Christopher and Logan was exactly like Luke…closed the app after that one. 😬

#the sheer amount of Logan fans who love Logan and hate Christopher needs to be studied #did they all miss the scene where Logan and Christopher met and were identical #also how tf is Jess like Christopher 😭 #Jess’s whole thing is rejecting wealth and calling out privilege… #threw up in my mouth a little after reading that comment #the Gilmore girls subreddit is unironically garbage #Gilmore girls tumblr >>> #this is my safe haven #rory gilmore #gilmore girls #lorelai gilmore #jess mariano #stars hollow #luke danes #literati #rory x jess #anti christopher hayden #christopher hayden #anti logan huntzberger
