Some Book I Love By Trans Authors

JK Rowling being Back On Her Bullshit again means that there's a fresh crop of people claiming that you should never ever ever read Harry Potter ever again. Now, I'm not going to comment on that claim, but I've noticed that this trend towards bashing transphobes has ultimately overshadowed conversation about trans authors in the publishing world. I'm seeking to remedy this.

Below the cut is a list of books from trans authors, most of which I absolutely love. I'm only choosing authors who openly identify themselves as trans or nonbinary. Authors who haven't said anything on the subject but write a lot of queer material will not be considered (as I'm not interesting in speculating on anyone else's identity). I have actually read them unless otherwise stated (my darling friend almost-annette is providing a few additional recs!). My taste tends towards sci-fi, fantasy, and romance. Her tastes lean much more… high brow, I suppose. Memoirs, history, and serious literature abound. Between the two of us, hopefully you can find something you like below. I also encourage everyone to please leave books by their favourite trans authors in the comments!
