Hooty Is A Menace 

Kind of a funny thing as someone who perused old detrans tumblr and current detrans twitter is that a lot of these detransitioners are formerly "truscum," and not the "trenders" many truscum fought for years saying trenders were faking being trans, would ruin their bodies transitioning and regret it forever, would destroy trans people's often volatile reputation in society at large, and were just taking part in a fashion or fad. Now we get years down the line and many accused of "trending" for various reasons (gender nonconformity being a big one) are happier than ever in final stages of transitioning while former truscum populate internet detrans spaces. I would say it is ironic but I feel that would discounting the fact that it's very sad many of these people have transitioned and.. realized it wasnt what they needed. And during that process projected their feelings onto others, aggressively accusing them of faking being trans, not being trans in the right way, not needing to transition, not meeting oft-arbitrary standards and stereotypes etc etc.. this connection with obsessing over trenders and ending up reidentifying/detransing is clear as day.

Part of my job is processing all the new incoming books and putting our property stamp on them and barcodes, so I get to also see all the adorable new kid's books too with wonderful gorgeous art in them but ANYWAYS THIS NEW ONE CAME IN AND

"It Feels Good To Be Yourself. A book about gender identity" written by Theresa Thorn and illustrated by Noah Grigni. The cover shows the four main characters, one is a transgender girl, two are nonbinary in different ways, and one is a cis boy who is the little brother to the trans girl.

I typically don't read the kids books even when they are super cute but this one I HAD to read. So I start reading. And I just--

Here's a few pages: (short image description below)

Quick image description: Above are 5 pictures I took of pages that I really liked and made me extra happy. The first two are back to back pages of the book's introduction of JJ, who is a wheelchair user and is "neither a girl or a boy" and uses they/them pronouns. This is the text from the next two back to back pages depicting the four friends playing outside and coloring on the sidewalk: "Some kids don't feel exactly like a girl or a boy -- they feel like neither. Some kids feel like their gender identity isn't always the same -- it's often changing." [Next page] "And even with all these possible ways to be, some kids don't feel like any of the words they know fit them exactly right. There are a never-ending number of ways to be yourself in the world." The last page shows Ruthie after she came out to her parents as transgender. Her whole family (mom, dad, little brother, her, and a dog on the side) are hugging. The text reads "Oops! Ruthie was a girl all along -- they just didn't know it at first." End ID.

SO OBVIOUSLY IM ALMOST SOBBING AT WORK NOW OMG

This book is absolutely beautiful and so sweet and I encourage everyone to go see if they can borrow it at their library. It's a quick 2-3 min read, maybe 15 if you start getting emotional like my queer little heart did. I'm assuming there's a regular print version more widely available, and maybe a LT version too, and if my Hawaii library has a copy of the braille version I'm guessing others already have it too.

OH AND HERE'S THE BACK COVER I DIDNT NOTICE UNTIL AFTER I PROCESSED IT AND THIS PART REALLY GOT ME OKAY (text written below)

"No matter what your gender identity is, you are okay exactly the way you are. And you are loved."
