The Trans Rights Readathon is back and more important than ever! This is an annual readathon in support of Trans Day of Visibility on March 31st, with the readathon taking place across March 21-31 and featuring books written by and/or featuring trans and non-binary characters.
This year, it’s being hosted by @trreadathon.bsky.social where you can learn more. Alternative, visit the readathon website to sign up and find additional resources!
You can take part in the readathon by buying books by trans and bon-binary authors, shouting about their books and posting reviews. If you’re not sure where to find books, then I recommend checking out the Stories for the Trans Rights Readathon bundle on Itch.io that is currently running.
