The Pairing by @caseymcquiston.bsky.social is a beautiful exes-to-lovers romance where Kit responds to Theo's newfound gender identity by saying it makes perfect sense. I see so much of my own wrestling with the neither/both of my gender in Theo. #TransStoriesAreHumanStories

Upright Women Wanted by @sarahgailey.bsky.social is a fascinating novella about queer femme librarians evading censorship and undermining fascism in an alternate Old West. The protagonist and her nonbinary coworker distribute books because knowledge is power and #TransStoriesAreHumanStories.

Most Ardently by @thegabecole.bsky.social is a clever and heartfelt trans reimagining of Pride and Prejudice that left me squealing and flapping my hands with joy. Truly a wonderful romance that anyone should be able to enjoy, because #TransStoriesAreHumanStories.

#TransStoriesAreHumanStories Tough tweet to make for me since I love so much trans lit, but one of my favorite trans reads this year was Withered by @agawilmot.bsky.social. A really great horror story exploring eating disorders, trauma and transness through a haunted house.

@zrellor.bsky.social gave me hope for publishing autistic stories, and I see so much of myself and my autistic experience in Lukas from May the Best Man Win, as well as parts of my gender journey in Acting the Part. #TransStoriesAreHumanStories

Also, gonna plug @makyo.bsky.social 's complete Post-Self Cycle of books on the nature of trans identity, and skunks. Lots of skunks.

Gonna give a huge shout out to @egypturnash.bsky.social and @normalpony.bsky.social working on their latest trans-ass webcomic "No Pizza on Luna" ( egypt.urnash.com/npol/chapter... ) as well as their whole range of projects at egypt.urnash.com

Hey folks, this is still a very real sweepstakes (if haphazard, I know) going on until Tuesday morning! We've had very few entries, so get them in with #TransStoriesAreHumanStories

I need more trans authors to follow, especially of the SF/F/H/WF varieties!

For the #TransStoriesAreHumanStories trend, I'd like to give a shout-out to an author of something more interactive - @jdragsky.bsky.social ! Jay's work has been incredibly influential upon me, both as a writer and as a game designer. Even just reading Jay's games leaves an impact!

Since I can't say Svi, I'll plug Delemhach, an NB author of cozy romantic comedies The House Witch and The Burning Witch. Their books are just comfy, and heavily influenced by cooking and baking.
