"Trans queens building their lit publishing empire, but the haters tryna pull a Thanos 💀🚀 #StayMad"
🚨 BREAKING NEWS ALERT! 🚨 Trans women are flipping the narrative in the world of publishing like *it’s the last slice of pizza at a party*! 🍕✨ While the mainstream keeps portraying them as spooky monsters or sad story props (like that one uncle at Thanksgiving who overcooks the turkey), they’re out here trying to build their OWN empire—no cap! 👑🔥 Traditional publishing is like your grandma’s online dating profile—*seriously outdated and only appealing to a niche audience!* 🤷♀️📚 Lee & Low’s latest survey says that 2/3 of the publishing world is made up of cis white women. BRUH! Like, can we get a diversity upgrade, please? 💻➡️🌈 💬 “It’s like they want us to do the tango with our manuscripts while blindfolded!” says author M Zakharuk, as they navigate a R&R (Revise & Resubmit) cycle that feels like a game of ‘Guess Who?’ but you only ever land on *cringe* 🙃. Meanwhile, transfem authors are just *trying to vibe* and get LOUD about their stories. 📣 🔥 Hot take: If the publishing industry doesn't embrace this change and unlock the diversity treasure chest, we're gonna see a *rebellion of readers* resembling a TikTok dance-off. 🕺💥 Get ready for squad goals to turn into squad *tales*! 💌 #TransWritersMatter #ThisIsFine #StonksForTransLit 💸👀
