FOR WRITERS Today’s writer topic comes from QSFer Scott: It’s the Transgender Day of Visibility, and while I think every day should be, I’d like to take the chance to ask our trans, NB, gender fluid and genderqueer authors to stand up and tell us who they are, what they write, and share links to their work. :) Writers: This is a writer chat – you are welcome to share your own book/link, as long as it fits the chat, but please do so as part of a discussion about the topic.
