After hundreds of hours of reading and research, my 2025 Starter Guide to transfeminine literature is finally live!
No matter your experience level, there's a book for you! 🏳️⚧️📚 #transbooks
The list covers a vast range of genres. There are 78 handcrafted recs on this list, and I've read all but two.

Someday they're gonna write books about how the Democratic Party helped to inaugurate Trumpian fascism and there are going to be millions of Americans who won't be alive to see it because the fascists fuckimg murdered them.

as someone constantly thinking about trans fiction/short fic/essays, i’m always glad to see someone collect everything together into one place. trans literature is not a monolith, and it’s still being invented daily. join us :)

⭐⭐ I struggled to get through this review, but I don't need to cover every aspect of the book to tell you this - Black Flame is the best transfemme horror novel of 2025, and if you like the genre in the slightest, you should read it now.

⭐⭐ @lilacperil.bsky.social's sophomore shortform collection TABOO isn't just one of the best books of 2025 - it's also a testament to the power of collective organizing in underground publishing.

I got kicked out of my apartment for routine maintainance for a few hours today, so I read another 50 pages of La fille d'elle-même (which I am very slowly reading in the original French).
And jeez this girl cannot catch a break. Attempted drowning, CPS, American sad girl trans lit could never.

This is the facility that I and many others have been protesting. We’ve been hit, thrown, gassed, and shot with pepper bullets but none of that holds a candle to what is being done to people *in* the actual facility.
Read this thread. Don’t look away. Keep your eyes and the pressure on Broadview.

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.
