This list includes books by trans, nonbinary, and genderqueer authors; books featuring trans characters; and books about trans history and politics. It is an expansive list featuring authors of all genders from many countries and backgrounds. Note that some of the books I've included by trans authors are not about trans characters. Newsflash: trans people can write about whatever and whoever they want!
I've read all of these books, and while I love 95% of them, I've also included a few that weren't for me but that I think are awesome anyway and that you might adore. You'll notice a few much beloved and well-know books on the list, but for the most part I've chosen to highlight under-the-radar indie press books that deserve more attention.
Books are sorted into vague genre/thematic categories. It's skewed toward what I love and have read recently, which means a lot of contemporary fiction and essays and not a lot of sci-fi, but there's a little bit of just about everything.
