The Transfeminine Review: Start Here, a List of Recommended Books

Are you questioning your gender and searching for fiction that'll help you figure out what a transition might look like?
Are you a trans woman or a femmeby who's never seen herself on the traditionally published page before?
Are you the loved one or significant other of a trans person who wants to better understand their experiences?
Or are you just looking for your next great yarn?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, or if you're only curious to learn more about trans women in publishing, then you've come to the right place.
***This list is adapted from The Transfeminine Review's fantastic "Start Here" list. It is missing The Trans Women Writer's Collective Booklet Series (2018-2020), because I could not figure out how to adapt it to the List Challenges format. The original article has SO MUCH additional context and information, I really recommend you click the link and check it out! —Jen**
