Do you wet your toothbrush before adding toothpaste? After? Both? How about your characters?

A cycling influencer nominated for a list of top 100 women cyclists said she has declined the honour due to the decision not to include trans women.
Claire Sharpe, a cycling coach from Bristol, said: "If they don't want to ride with all women, then it's not the kind of ride I want to be part of" 👏🏻

Today is my birthday, and in honor of that, please buy some trans books! They don't even have to be my trans books, just buy trans books! Every day! Forever!
On that note:
Trans authors (I mean authors who are trans, NOT cis people who write about trans people), drop your book links here and I'll try to repost as many as I can throughout the day.
Cis people: Repost trans authors' book links.
Cis people who want to complain about being excluded: gtfo

Being a trans author is fucking weird right now. Hell is actively unfolding all around us but I still need to be like, "hey, everyone, wanna buy my silly little queer book? It won't make anything better, but it's kinda fun?"

My personal “Don’t give to the Salvation Army” story:
When I was homeless in 2019, the Salvation Army shelter refused to give me a bed (even though they were available), because I was on immunosuppressant meds and they didn’t want to be responsible or liable if I got more sick or died on premises. They’d rather I die on the street.
It’s dinner time for the police. Appears to be pizza from a Salvation Army van.
Broadview’s “free speech” curfew starts soon, at 6pm.

I am begging SFF folk to simply look into whether they themselves might be on the aroace spectrum and to write / shop / market accordingly, instead of expressing extreme disgust for books which feature sex, romance, or both.
Absolutely. I still get stares when i talk about scifi romance like, what? Or worse, how dare?
But once I realised there were people like me out there, reading and writing what I loved, I chose to be happy.
Someone can look down their nose at something I like. I'm having fun. That's what matters.

Note: This is intended to be about fictional animal companions, but if you accidentally "forget" that part and post a picture of your cat/dog/panda instead, that's okay.

Most are Maer, hairy humanoids very similar to humans

The Isle of a Thousand Worlds (minor but important side character)
They are also referenced in The World Within
