"A quick note to our transgender customers. You are welcome at Changing Hands. You are welcome, valued, respected--as friends, as community members, as fellow book lovers, as fellow human beings. You are not a 'burden' or 'disruption.' You're an integral part of our vibrant and diverse community of readers, booksellers, authors, and publishers. We stand with you against President Trump's military ban, and above all--most importantly of all--against the ignorance that underlies it. We'll stand with you in the future as well, no matter what this administration throws your way. Please know that. And please take care on this difficult day."
