trans & non-binary romance (updating)
adult genre romance stories where at least one main character is trans and/or non-binary! i havenβt necessarily read or recommend all the books included here; please lmk if anything is incorrect. Also this list is white and transmasc leaning so def please leave any recs in the comments! iβve mainly excluded erotica, as my goal for this list is genre romance, but most books listed do contain sexual scenes (varying levels of explicitness)
