Has a book ever made an important impact
on your life? 

Books can be a great resource for viewers that are transitioning or want to learn more about gender identity. It's also nice when character's in a book reflect experiences similar to yours.

It can be hard to filter through all the information out there, so let's help our viewers by pointing them in the right direction! 

Viewer's look to for guidance so you're favorite book my just be the one that changes their life.

"Don't take my word for it!"

Great points to talk about!
You don't have to be a book connoisseur.... 

  1. Vloggers can suggest books like these and refer viewers to our website where this list will be made available.
     
  2. If Vlogger has read any of the books above, you can discuss it, recommend it, and more. If you didn't like it, why not? What could the author have done differently, expanded upon, etc? If you have read a book that is not on the list you can talk about it or any other sources you have found helpful.
     
  3. If applicable, you can discuss what impact a book had on their life, whether negative or positive. The book doesn't have to necessarily be specific to LGBT* issues.
     
  4. Vloggers can talk about what kind of book they wish was available. If you had to write a book, what would it be about?
     
  5. Recommend viewers to check out their local library to see if they have these books, if they don't tell them to see if their library offers Inter Library Loans, where they can borrow books from another library.

           

            There are many possible directions this can go. Have fun, be creative!
