As the title says, what are your favorite books with trans protagonists?
I just finished Light From Uncommon Stars by Ryka Aoki and thoroughly enjoyed it. The main character is a runaway trans girl who wants to be a violinist. Without spoiling too much it’s also a sci-fi/fantasy story and has a lesbian side-romance. TW for rape and general transphobia.
What Moves The Dead by T. Kingfisher is another favorite of mine. It has a nonbinary protagonist and is a SFF horror rewrite of The Fall of the House of Usher by Edgar Allen Poe. If you like an alt-history Victorian setting with the undead this is straight up your alley.
I tried reading Hell Followed With Us, but as a trans man from a deeply religious rural community in the south it was a little too real for me at the time. 😂 I’ve been thinking about giving it another shot though, from what I remember reading the author’s experiences overlap a lot with mine and I love a good post apocalypse book.
I’ll have to add the rest to my to-read list as well, thanks for the recommendations!
Hello fellow trans man from a deeply religious community in the south. I will definitely be reading that book.
