This bookshop is making a donation to trans children’s charity Mermaids every time they sell a JK Rowling book

Feminist London bookshop The Second Shelf is donating money to transgender children’s charity Mermaids every time they sell a book by JK Rowling.

The bookshop, which has proudly spelled out its support for trans and non-binary people in the past, announced its plans in a February 12 tweet.

“Making a donation to Mermaids every time we sell J K Rowling,” The Second Shelf tweeted.

The bookshop, which opened in Soho in 2018 and only sells books by women, added: “Donation made this morning! A small amount, but we look forward to more opportunities to contribute to this vital organization.”
