   @ryanhoulihan I get that. I think part of the difficulty in making those lists is that many trans writers don't want to be pigeonholed. It can be bad for one's career or self-esteem. So while they're not in the closet, they don't put that info in the press releases, where those bloggers would be looking. I'll list a few authors I can think of off the top of my head

   My friend Aran and her late wife wrote a cool sci-fi series, Sol: Legacy. She also makes awesome music https://aranmaybe.bandcamp.com/album/charades

     @ryanhoulihan the problem is when I suggest comics for these kind of things people put their noses in the air about it.

     That said, there's a lot of trans/nonbinary people making good comics.

     @ryanhoulihan Sincere question would The Art of The Matrix count? Like in retrospect.

     @ryanhoulihan it's never occurred to me to consume art just because it's made by a trans person. I just hunt out art that I like. And it just happens that so much of what speaks to me would turn out to be made by a trans person but it simply wasn't marketed as such.

     This might be kind of like "Christian music" - if it's any good, it won't be called that.

     @ryanhoulihan okay I wrote a check I can't cash by committing to 3 whole toots so I'll just use something that I, a trans, wrote as filler for the last one:

     It's a short story expressing my anger about sanitized history. It's about how past atrocities can distort one's sense of reality. Fun!

     Also available as a printable zine:

     (I also snail mail these for free)

     I'm working on a second short story right now using dragons as a trans metaphor.

     @ryanhoulihan I haven't read this yet but I plan on attending the book signing, but a trans man local to me (Salem Lynn Thornton) wrote a gothic young adult trilogy, with the first installment out now, Something so Lovely.

     A few that might be on those lists because them being trans is mentioned in the books' about sections. Might not be your cup of tea though:
     - Happy As Pirates by Jemma Topaz
     - Sundered Moon by Fae'Rynn
