There is a nonbinary character who says they want to go by they/them but the story and only character they came out to refer to them as she/her, could be because they said "she/her works for now" or could be lazy writing, not entirely sure

“Necesitaba que me escuchara, necesitaba que nos escuchara a todas”

Esta clase de libros siempre me deja medio vacía, pero siempre los encuentro necesarios. Las lecturas que mas me duelen son las que me ponen en perspectiva más a menudo, al consumir este tipo de media me siento identificada en un modo un poco sombrío, porque sé que en cada palabra hay una pequeña parte de mi. Leer esta clase de textos se siente como escuchar lo llevamos gritando por tanto tiempo. Hay cierto comfort en saber que estas historias están siendo contadas, y que hay un espacio para ellas en la comunidad lectora. Nunca he sido buena en explicar cómo me siento al leer libros con esta temática, pero quiero obligar a todo el mundo a leerlas, quiero que todxs se sientan un poco vacíos y hacer lugar dentro para escuchar, escuchar, escuchar.
