Alex Unabridged | International Transgender Day of Visibility Special! | My celebration of trans writers and books! @alex_unabridged | Uploaded March 2023 | Updated October 2024, 5 hours ago.
Hello folks! It’s 31st March, and it’s International Transgender Day of Visibility (TDOV)! So I want to celebrate some of the amazing trans writers and books that I found so valuable when I was figuring out my gender, and have a little look at some more contemporary writers and texts that I want to read soon. And of, I can’t pass up the opportunity to mention some of the fabulous trans and non-binary BookTubers and YouTubers that I love too…
Thanks for watching!
