listen. obvs im glad for any and all queer & trans books, but ya NEEDS to start showing up for trans femme stories and writers the way it has (recently started to) for trans masc stories and writers

Have been thinking a lot about this lately. The majority of trans books I get are trans masc and I've honestly been dying to find more trans femme.

Please send! We need your voices! #mswl

As far as my #mswl goes, right now I’m looking for mostly character-driven YA with a killer voice featuring one or more of these things:

-intersectional feminist and environmentally conscious themes
-activism
-LGBTQIA+ characters (esp. trans, bisexual, and asexual youth)
