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.

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

With unwarranted ego, myself. A hard working, under appreciated trans author. Trans, #transmasc, #transfem, #lesbian #bisexual, #asexual, #otherkin, etc. characters.

New chapter each week.

Join Ume & her family as their relationships develop. In a creepy world where “love” never dies.

@RickiTarr So, #asexual visibility note on this: all ace people are different, and have different connections to sexuality, sensuality, and physicality.

The thing that makes us “true freaks,” in my mind, is how we reject allosexual society’s compulsory participation in sexuality. That’s real freaky to the patriarchy’s prescribed ways of being.

From the article: "At least one foreign LGBTQ rights group has already pulled out of WorldPride to “safeguard our trans and nonbinary staff” from persecution by the U.S. government."

Erin In The Morning · Germany, InterPride Issue LGBTQ Travel Advisories About United StatesBy s. baum

Source: Des Moines Register

From the article: "Singing "we shall overcome" and waving the rainbow hues of the Pride flag, LGBTQ Iowans shared a message of hope on the heels of legislation dissolving civil rights protections for trans Iowans as they rallied at the Capitol.

"Tuesday's LGBTQ Day on the Hill comes less than two weeks after Gov. Kim Reynolds signed into law a bill removing gender identity as a protected class from the Iowa Civil Rights Act, the law that shields Iowans from discrimination in education, housing, employment, credit practices and public accommodations."
