#ActuallyIntersex book review: Queen by #intersex author JS Fields! This was one of the first books we read as a club! The book felt like it had a lot of potentiat, but we felt it didn't really land in its execution. The intersex rep was appreciated though! www.tumblr.com/inter...#ActuallyIntersex#intersex#books

#ActuallyIntersex book review: Cripping Intersex by Orr We were enthused about connecting #intersex & #DisabilityStudies! 💜 But how Orr did it felt objectifying & voyeuristic, and there were noticeable factual inaccuracies. So we had a LOT to say about this book:

Our #intersex book pick for July is chapters 3-5 of Contesting Intersex by #ActuallyIntersex sociologist @georgianndavis.bsky.social The other chapters of the book were our pick for April and we liked it so much we decided to read the rest! 💜 More info: www.tumblr.com/inter...#intersex#ActuallyIntersex#books

#ActuallyIntersex book review: Critical Intersex, edited by Holmes Last year we read the chapters by @margrietvanheesch.bsky.social, Kolbe, & Klöppel, and learnt a bunch about European #intersex legal history. #QueerHistory Summary & reactions:

We read Power to Yield last year and loved it - the stories are touching and optimistic, and the #intersex rep was naturally woven into the stories. Love seeing intersex authors & stories featured in #pride bundles 💜

Trans lives are more important than Harry Potter. 🏳️‍⚧️ There is a wonderful world of queer (and queer-friendly) fantasy literature out there. You don't have to support a franchise that is actively fuelling hatred and legislation against the #trans community. 🏳️‍⚧️ (Image credit: WeirdCatLive of Tumblr)

#ActuallyIntersex #BookReview: Just Ash by #intersex author Sol Santana We enjoyed this YA coming-of-age story. It has heavy stuff but it does a good job of illustrating how rough it can be to grow up intersex, without being gratuitous. www.tumblr.com/intersexbook...

#ActuallyIntersex book review: Icarus by Ancrum! Overall: we enjoyed it! The prose was lovely. We would have liked the #intersex rep to be a bit more integrated throughout the book, rather than contained to a single scene, but it was still nice to have! It was joyful. 💜 www.tumblr.com/inter...#ActuallyIntersex

#ActuallyIntersex Book Review: The Deep by @riverssolomon.bsky.social Overall: It tackles heavy content but does so with joy and love. The autistic representation stood out for its visceral accuracy. Love to see casual, normalizing #intersex rep 💜 More: www.tumblr.com/intersexbook...

#ActuallyIntersex Book Review: Across the Green Grass Fields by @seananmcguire.bsky.social Overall: the first half was a productive challenge to readers to think about how to best parent #intersex kids, without being preachy nor didactic. The second half was fun.

#ActuallyIntersex #BookReviews: The Deep by Rivers Solomon We liked it! It's one of many books we've now read where an #intersex author uses sea creatures to play with intersex representation. And the #autistic representation was also well done! 💜 www.tumblr.com/intersexbook...
