Recs if you like Lunar Boy...

JK Rowling is a bigot who uses her platform to hurt transfolks and other marginalized groups (plus she literally just quoted Mein Kampf on the bird site). If you're still supporting her in 2025, don't bother talking to me.

I tried to include most books I know or that have been recommended that either have transfem, transmasc or nonbinary main characters. I only add first in series!

sci-fi visions of BIPOC cultures on other planets or in space. recommendations always welcome!

Celebrating cozy books by bipoc authors. With respect to the subjectivity of 'cozy' and how a lot of bipoc stories will touch on difficult themes as part of our realities, I'm including here books that I've read and have been recommended.

These are books for us to exhale and rest with, with lower stakes where the cozy atmosphere is thoughtfully at the forefront rather than as short scenes or as an afterthought. I'll add a suggestions criteria post in the comments for more recs 🙌🏽

musings on home, and characters yearning to belong, whether they know it or not. (includes conversations on identity and family/chosen family.)

Fiction and non-fiction with significant intergenerational exchange/learning/teaching/relationship between trans and/or queer characters/people.

This list is in progress, please recommend in the comments! Especially interested in:

• positive exchanges between people of different generations, especially BIPOC and marginalized people
• characters learning about organizing from people of other generations
• multigenerational family stories with multiple trans/queer characters

a book collection dedicated to the future, a future in which the bounds of what we know to be possible bloom into flowers. gender norms and science rules don't know what's coming!

(reccs very welcome!!)

A list of queer graphic novels! 🥰 I'll update this list as I go. Some of these have queerness as their main topic and some have queer side characters. For series I only added the first volume. (Edit: in "Dungeon Club" queerness becomes a more important topic later on in the series.) I'm happy to add stuff, feel free to comment! 🌟

gays in space (or I guess sometimes dealing with space shit on earth), with a tending toward optimistic futures. this list will continue to grow and change over time. this list includes trans folks, queercore, and graphic novels.

if a book is part of a series, I'm only listing the first book just so the list doesn't get overrun.

Stories across genres and age groups that prominently feature trans & non-binary characters of color.

Recommendations welcome!
