Trans Rights Readathon Suggestions (masterlist)
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!
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!
these titles are complete sentences!
Speculative Trans (+nonbinary) Works
Works in the speculative, fantasy, science fiction, and horror genres by authors who are not cisgender! Two spirit, nonbinary, trans, genderfluid, and other gender diverse authors count!
books your pretentious friend has heard of
assigned by frankie
almost every single book mentioned* on Frankie's Shelf youtube channel because their taste is wild and i love it.
updated as frankie posts. *mentioned as in the book is the focus of the video, listened in the description, or offhandedly said.
Trans femme fiction
Fiction reads with trans femme characters and/or by trans femme authors
See my trans Rights readathon suggestions masterlist for more trans reads! π³οΈββ§οΈ
(Under construction π π§ many more books to be added! Suggestions welcome!)
Go with the Gender Flow! (Genderfluid Characters)
here's a (currently short) list of books that have genderfluid characters as their MC or LI! I kept looking for lists like this, but mainly found ones for nonbinary characters in general, so I'm starting this from scratch with books I remember having genderfluid characters. All genres and audiences! [open to recommendations! all kinds of genderfluid identities allowed!]
PDX Queer Book Club
fucked up fiction (complimentary)
messy characters + bad decisions
Adult non-binary stories
Adult novels, novellas, short stories, and graphic novels prominently featuring non-binary characters across genres. Many stories lean horror and/or erotic πππ
Recommendations welcome!
β¦ I have not read all of these books - if you notice anything that seems to be mis-labeled/mis-placed on this list, please let me know! β¦
dyke lit
I don't resonate with most sapphic reading lists, so here is one for dykes instead
for fans of david lynch and/or jane schoenbrun
(ok bc to me jane schoenbrun is his aesthetic/creative offspring)
nonbinary and genderqueer books
both nonfiction and fiction about being genderqueer, nonbinary, genderfluid, bigender etc
weird girlhood(s)
the books that are most interesting, inventive, and complex for the girlhood studies grad student in me. whose βgirlhoodβ are we talking about? iβm thinking of girlhood as a liminal, queer, socially constructed, often traumatic, uncanny space.
my favorite queer lit fic
queer literary fiction i adore
Cover Color Challenge: Pink
Think pink! From bubblegum hues to electric fuchsia, we're looking at our shelves through rose-colored lenses.
Leave me suggestions in the comments! π«Άπ»
