If you want to understand how America got to a point where it fears vaccines and measles more than it fears autism, I published a whole book that showed that trying to cure autism only hurts #ActuallyAutistic people. Buy it here.

this is very true and i read A LOT of amazing books this year but i do hope that in 2026 we get more books by black trans writers
2025 was by far the strongest year ever for novels by trans writers from major publishers -- and that's before you get down to smaller presses and self-published stuff, which were also cooking. God, I hope it sustains in 2026 and beyond. A lot of these books sold well! The audience is there!
