[14] The Dayne Ogilvie jury, consisting of writers Jane Eaton Hamilton, Elio Iannacci and Trish Salah, cited Thom's work as "sheer joyful exuberance, creativity, and talent", calling Fierce Femmes "a delicious and fabulist refashioning of a trans memoir as fiction" and "a genre-breaking refusal of the idea that the only stories trans people have to tell are their autobiographies.
"[14] In 2019, Fierce Femmes and Notorious Liars was chosen by Emma Watson for her online feminist book club Our Shared Shelf.

[22] In 2023 Penguin Random House Canada published Thom's most recent book, Falling Back in Love With Being Human: Letters to Lost Souls.
[24] Shondaland writer Sarah Neilson describes the book as “a collection of lyrical love poems dedicated to runaways, liars, compulsive caregivers, and even J.K. Rowling.” Neilson adds, “The book also includes interludes where [Thom] offers a prompt for self-reflection or a ritual.” [25] Currently, Thom writes a column called Dangerous Space for Xtra Magazine,[26] where she explores current "hot-button" issues related to the LGBTQ community.
