Transgender people have always existed‼️
"Not Your Founding Father by Nina Sankovitch is a biography about the Public Universal Friend (born Jemima Wilkinson), a nonbinary minister who emerged in 1776, claiming to be a genderless messenger of God."

Not Your Founding Father
A thrilling celebration of a forgotten early American renegade, Not Your Founding Father reconsiders just how radical the American experiment could...

they literally just find and replace the word "people" with a concept so they can make threats in the press without it being illegal

and cis journos keep pretending they can't see it

I just think it's a bit grandiose calling it trans ideology when the only discernable unifying goals are to not be killed or deprived of medicine and to be left alone to hyperfixate on their special interests.

The “AI” has not read the book.

Even if the book
was in its training data,
it has just absorbed it
as a set
of statistics.
It will juggle you a “summary”
that might
or might not
relate to the conclusions
of the actual text.

The only way
you’ll know
is to read it
yourself.

For the "trans people never existed until recently" crowd. Granted, 100 years ago is still pretty recent in historic terms, but stick this in your scrapbooks anyway.

Please choose a book or two (or ten!) and give the authors reviews (or even just star ratings). They help tremendously!! If you can't, a share would help them out too! 🩵🩷🤍

Authors or protagonists or both are trans / gender non-conforming.

November is trans and gender non-conforming empowerment month. Flags for the various trans and related identities are at the top. Four books are displayed. Here are the authors' instagram usernames (please follow them!): Red Green Blue by PS Shai @psshaiauthor The Rebel Foxes by Noah Hawthorne @neshamapublishing A Handful of Words by Wyrd Lea @wyrd_lea (available at Smashwords and as an ARC). Soul Haven by Shannon Curry (unsure if on Insta. Book of poetry available on Barnes & Noble's website). Same alt text as slide one, but now three books are displayed. Here are the authors' instagram usernames (please follow them!): Petals & Blades anthology by Xaneria Ann @xaneriaann, Colby Beattley, A.P. Sessler, Katie Leonard, Russell Hemmell, Vivian St. Crow, and Kiley Bishop (sorry about not being able to locate some accounts) Grim Reflection by A. Lawrence @akiwitch Dawn of the Obsidian Sun by RN Barbosa @barbosbooks_ Same alt text as slide one, but now three books are displayed. Here are the authors' instagram usernames (please follow them!): The Silence of Storms by Nico Silver @nicosilverbooks Queer Windows: Volume 2 Summer by Cay Fletcher @cayfletcher The Captain and the Guppy by Noah Bodie @highlycaffeinated.art Here's a bingo card for nonbinary November you can use. The squares say: indie/small press author; recommended by a nonbinary friend/creator; disability rep; your favourite genre; young adult (YA); nonbinary joy; Indigenous author / MC; book in the colours of the nonbinary flag; black or latine author / MC; a genre you don't normally read; fantasy; nonfiction / poetry; horror; graphic novel; 2025 release; a book from a country other than your own. I'm not sure who created this because I've seen a few people posting it. If you created it or know who it was, please leave a comment and I'll update this post to credit them.

A while ago, I downloaded an app specifically to remind me of things!

Then I promptly forgot I ever did that until after scrolling through my phone yesterday...🤦🏻

Just as a reminder, there are so many other books to read that don’t fund the hatred of innocent trans people.
Grow up and move on.
