Love this Kyle. I have a shelf in my house of API / API Queer authors for v similar reasons. It’s a great practice to be reminded that we exist and our stories are worth telling. Thank you for this list. Can’t wait to check out.

PS - I still have Grace Bonney’s beautiful In The Company of Women you gave me ❤️

Hi Kyle, you might be interested to read “A real piece of work” by Australian trans non-binary author and social worker Erin Riley. It’s a memoir in a collection of essays. I am not trans but I am queer and constantly learning. I found it illuminating, sad, uplifting and joyful.
