I recently saw Leo Bancroft’s new tag to show support of trans kids, and thought it was such a great tag, so I’m sharing my answers!
BOOKTUBER TAG VIDEOS
Original by Leo @ Leo Bancroft
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cscsGBNXhic
TAG PROMPTS
1. Tag some fabulous friends who also may want to do this tag and #standwithtranskids
2. Tell us about some books on your tbr pile featuring a trans/non-binary character or nonfiction about trans/non-binary stuff
3. Recommend a favorite book/show/movie featuring a trans/non-binary character
4. Everyone has their own journey and no one demographic is a monolith. Recommend a book with a journey (however you define that)
5. None of us knows everything – even about our own identities – especially since we’re not a monolith and each have our own journey – what is a book that taught you something either about yourself or the world around you?
6. When things are hard in the world or in our lives, sometimes there are things we can do to help center and refocus ourselves, to bring joy, to keep us going, to keep living, resisting, being our authentically amazing selves. What are things you do to center yourself or find joy?
7. What’s your walk-on music – or your feel at home in your body music?
8. Finding mentors, people of wisdom, or heroes can be another way to help us navigate life. Who are some of your mentors? Can you share something they taught you or inspired you to learn more about?
9. Who are some out trans/non-binary booktubers, instagrammers, authors, actors, etc who you’d like to shoutout?
10. What are some organizations you’d like to shout out for supporting trans kids/trans folks?
