2. Butches. Butches!! Please. I'm less interested in toxic masculinity on women, so I'm especially looking for expressions of healthy masculinity. (This goes for all characters, but please send me butches.)

Okay, #BigBoys on #Channel4 was everything I wanted it to be and more. Any YA in this vein / themes exploring friendship, queerness, masculinity, mental health / books that look at the British uni experience in an open & honest way - please send them straight into my inbox #MSWL

* Stories with trans characters—that do NOT have to center around their inviting others into their world (coming out) but I’m open to those stories too. This goes with all LGBTQIA+ stories
* Stories with non-binary characters
* Stories that subvert toxic masculinity
...

(Romance continued) I can’t bare to read dated ideals of partnership, relationships, femininity, and masculinity. I DO NOT want books where the characters participate in sexual acts without consent and/or while heavily intoxicated. Consent is key and a requirement.... #mswl

✨ books calling out white supremacy, toxic masculinity, the "isms"
✨ coming of age stories feat. characters and communities of color
✨ charming yet murderous women (contemporary + historical fiction) (5/7)

I'd love a #MG novel that looks at toxic masculinity #MSWL #WishlistWednesday

#mswl so hard I almost dropped my phone into my coffee. decolonize Indy! remove the specter of defunct masculinity from the character’s hallmarks. make her a bulwark against the dying of a hidden world. make Indiana Jones the auntie we deserve.

teenage brothers fighting toxic masculinity, navigating relationships, and engaging thoughtfully with how social media affects them #MSWL thecut.com/2018/03/teen-b…

I would love to see YA fiction that shows boys trying to grow up in defiance of toxic masculinity when it's so deeply engrained in our culture. Recognizing it, rejecting it, & making big decisions consciously in relation to that stance. #MSWL
