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.
Not trans, but non-binary, a favorite of my partner and mine: Murderbot series by Martha Wells
Partner suggestions: Non-binary: “Monk and Robot by Becky Chambers”
She suggested Light from uncommon stars, said it was fantastic that you already mentioned. But she is hard to stump for book recommendations, so now she has a mission.
Yoon Ha Lee is a trans author and has written tons. She has only read “Dragon Pearl”, which had a supporting non-bin character, and many of their books are likely similar.
Trans main character, not necessarily protagonist. 2nd book specifically of “The Wayward Children” series by Seanan McGuire… she thinks this character is in many of the books, but is focused on in the 2nd.
I totally forgot about the Murderbot series, I enjoyed what I read of it! I’ll have to check out the other ones too, thanks for the recommendations.
