With all the JKR is a toxic TERF discussion happening, which she absolutely is, it's time we all find another book/series to be obsessed with. My immediate thought is @rickriordan and his Percy Jackson series. It's got gods and monsters, and he uses his imprint to feature...
POC and LGBT+ authors and storylines. There is specifically a trans character in The Hammer of Thor who is well-potrayed, and the story isn't exclusively about their gender identity...
For the adults, read @veschwab 's A Darker Shade of Magic series. There's no trans characters, but there is a lovely gay character storyline and so much amazing magic. Her vicious series has "mutants" and canon ace character but also read kids books who cares
These are just off the top of my head. I'm gonna do some more research and add to this thread as I think of more. Please feel free to add your own recs.
And please support POC and queer authors instead of hateful and hurtful #JKRowling , hit her where it actually hurts, her wallet. And check out these books from your local library which supports both the library and the authors. Again, more recs to come
