Instead of posting a review, I thought I’d provide a list of books and authors you can read to help celebrate Trans Day of Visibility. There are a lot of trans authors, a lot of books about being trans and the trans experience, but also great fiction works that are written by trans authors in a range of genres. There are also a tonne of websites and lists curated by bookshops and queer sites and organisations to help promote some great books by trans authors or that tell of the trans experience and provide information. I have compiled a list of starting places to find books as well as essays and short stories.

There are other specific LGBTQIA focused websites that have a list of trans authors or categories to filter through too. LGBTQ Reads is one of my favourites.
