The following is a listing of published transgender books, both hardcopy and ebooks. It is not all inclusive. Works published by Reluctant Press or on the internet are already well represented by their own web sites and are not be listed here. “How to” and self help books are also absent as these tend to be more like technical manuals and not true literature although some authors working in that genre are excellent writers who make their subject entertaining as well as instructive. Finally pornographic or material that in my opinion is overly exploitative has been excluded.This listing is divided into two parts, biographies/autobiographies and fiction. To date the majority of books by and on transgender people have been biographical in nature. While beneficial to the community as well as instructive to the general population they tend to be limited in scope. After all, how many times can one tell their life story. Fiction on the other hand is limited only by the writer’s imagination and is, in my humble opinion a vast field just waiting to be plowed.
For those new to TG literature I make the following recommendations: |
