Just figuring out how many books we lost when a woman decided to whip her coffee at the shelves and verbally assault a bookseller because we think that gender affirming care is health care.
If you don’t think trans rights are human right don’t come in, don’t follow us. Just Don’t

A message from us:
A huge thanks from our team, the affected bookselling Ghost, & Chris. We had such an outpouring of support yesterday, the overwhelming message and response to hate was LOVE. And if that isn’t resistance, I don’t know what is.
You all are the absolute best 🖤
