#WritersCoffeeClub March 31. Happy International Transgender Day of Visibility! What trans author has inspired you the most?

Unless a work is openly autobiographical or political or topical -- strongly focused on some aspects of the trans experience, particularly transition as such -- making a fuss about the author being trans feels wrong. Not quite dead-naming them, but leaning in that direction.

I am not sure I am interrupting your post correctly. But one highlights trans authors for the same reason you highlight any other group that has been discriminated against, systematically silenced, and locked out of the publishing industry. The same reason you support POC authors, women authors, ASD authors, etc.

It is not necessarily because they write about being that minority; it is because they are routinely silenced. Whatever they write in someway reflects their life experience as a marginalized individual.

I fit none of the criteria you mention, yet my characters reflect the realities of being trans, lesbian, and/or asexual. Undoubtedly, it also reflects life as ASD without my being aware of it.

You make an excellent point. Recognition of minority status is important. Those who are of the majority have the power to pull their sisters and brothers up onto the same platform they stand on...acknowledging them as equals. @elysegrasso
