Books with Trans representation
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!
Trans Masc fiction
Fiction reads with trans masc characters and/or by trans masc authors

(Under construction ๐ ๐ง many more books to be added! Suggestions welcome!)
Gay/trans men written by gay/trans men
Getting a bit fed up of the amount of gay men written by straight women. Please recommend me more books!
transmasc (YA)
any genre; main and (important) side characters who are trans I also have lists for transmasc (middle grade) and transmasc (adult). For graphic novels I have a separate list: transmasc (graphic novels).

A non-comprehensive list of Queer books.

Medicine for the Weighted Mind
Stress relief through easy reads & humor
Includes but not limited to: fluff, comedy, cozy/comfort, banter, plain-olโ-laughs, fun-no-plot, ridiculousness (writing ranging from okay to fantastic but theyโre all worth it)
Canโt be bothered with the world or seriousness? Need a break for your brain and soul? Rest here & treat yourself!

Mostly: adult-audience fiction, some YA & youth titles often appreciated by all ages.

One stop shop for me-approved queer books (not a very long list, but soon it will be ๐ซ| kinda YA coded, since I've only recently graduated from YA to NA)
Transmen (or masc) Central Characters
(I am actively updating this) Books with protags and/or main characters who happen to be transmen, or transmaculine, whether it's relevant or not, regardless of good or bad either. Books with brief side characters do not count for the sake of my sanity.
trans YA
Books that fall on the rainbow
Books that have queer and/or trans characters
Books that you won't be able to put down
Could not put any of these down. Read almost all of them in a day.
