Also, I think these books aren't speaking to me because "Time To Orbit: Unknown" already did the traumatized queer folks in space, but better. If this was my first foray into "insane politics dying space empire forced into the worst possible situation body horror" then maybe it would hit harder.

Trans authors: Drop links to your NON-AMAZON book listings/storefronts.
Cis people: Repost, boost, and, importantly, buy. Part of boycotting an evil corporation is supporting the alternatives.
