Recs if you like Welcome to St. Hell: My Trans Teen Misadventure...

Reading suggestions for the Trans Rights Readathon! (Any year of course). Books with trans characters of any label (or any non-cis gender identity) by trans/non-cis authors. I have not read all the books in this list. Feel free to name your fave books by trans authors in the comments!

LGBT*+ graphic novels / comics / manga +

Fluff to smut, including 18+ etc aka not exclusive to anything specific other than being queer content (queer & queer-rep inclusive stories). I have read a good handful of the ones now at the bottom of the list. Includes intended middle-grade-ish-level youth content to adult audience content.

In progress / updated over time. Mostly serving as an all-in-one-spot list until Pagebound figures something out that works well for multi-genre/format exploration. :)

(recs highly welcome) Attempting a highly exhaustive list.

Graphic Medicine is… (an actual term) graphic novels, manga, comics, and visual representation engaging with health and healthcare - from health diagrams visual pamphlets to a graphic novel including health story or rep.

Mostly adult, YA, MG, and some other youth/ all ages titles

In-progress / updated over time Reccomendations welcome

memoirs, anthologies, graphic novels etc. - anything goes as long as it's nonfiction about the trans & queer experience

We're celebrating Trans Day of Visibility by sharing books with queer characters written by trans (transgender and non-binary) authors. (This list is presented by Duck Prints Press, the indie publisher focused on publishing queer art and stories by queer creators! A group of us collaborate to make these recommendations.)

Ah yes, this ol' issue that has plagued librarians and bookstore clerks for decades.

And sometimes you find the right book, but... can you even call that shade blue?

Fuck censorship! This is not in support of this group but to bring awareness of their actions. Started by Cierra Clarke of Twin Falls, Idaho Moms for Liberty has challenged more than 95 books in the districts collection, two of which have been removed. This is a list of the books challenged as of 2026.

Books that feature Trans* Characters or Non-Fiction about Trans People (Ongoing project). Disclaimer: I haven't read all of these books yet, if there is an issue with the book/author, let me know. German and English

May 16th is National Biographer's Day, commemorating the work of people who write about... people! We've picked out a whole pile of our favorite biographies, autobiographies, and memoirs by and about queer folks to celebrate the occasion. (This list is presented by Duck Prints Press, the indie publisher focused on publishing queer art and stories by queer creators! A group of us collaborate to make these recommendations.)

Queer memoirs in graphic novel form. May have subtle queer notes or about queerness. Middle grade, young adult and adult!

Open to suggestions!

It's free comic books day, and we love comics and graphic novels every day, so here, have over 150 of our favorite graphic novels starring queer characters. (This list is presented by Duck Prints Press, the indie publisher focused on publishing queer art and stories by queer creators! A group of us collaborate to make these recommendations.)

Books about Trans Men and Trans Masc People

lgbt+ graphic novels, comics & manga

-The ultimate list for readers who also like to boggle their eyes at art- 👀

I only recently got into reading graphic novels/comics so I am very biased when it comes to picking what to read so BE WARNED these books contain very pretty art 💯😌 Also sorry I just don't really enjoy most superhero comics 😬🤷 the art is just not it. -all suggestions welcome- Definitely for the list.... Not for my own enjoyment...

Note: Skews modern and western, but feel free to share BL and Manga recs!

Are you bored? Do you need a fun, exciting, easy-to-read and/or random book to ignore your TBR and start reading right away? Reference this list!

Suggestions welcome 🙏

Comics about real life queer people

(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.
