I'm looking for fiction books with trans main characters. Ideally trans men, but trans women and non-binary people would be great too. I only know "I Wish You All The Best" by Mason Deaver, which stars a non-binary character. Any other recommendations?

Note: I read a lot of romance, so that’s generally what my suggestions will be in
– *Chasing Death Metal Dreams* by Kaje
– *Heart of the Lost Star* and *Mercenaries of the Stolen Moon* by Megan Derr, though the whole Tales of the High Court series is both worth reading and has trans characters. It’s worth noting the the fictional culture in the series has a much more relaxed attitude towards trans-ness than the real world
– *Cemetery Boys* by Aiden Thomas
– *The Sunbearer Trials* also by Aiden Thomas
– *Red Pandamonium* by Roan Rosser (this is in my TBR pile and I don’t know how good it is yet)
I know I’ve got others, but I’m drawing a blank right now.
The Danish Girl by David Ebershoff
It’s fiction inspired by the real life trans woman who underwent the first gender reassignment surgery in the early 1900s
Parrotfish by Ellen Wittlinger
Felix Ever After- I LOVED it!

Here is my trans goodreads shelf, you can pick from 145 books: https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/4345327?shelf=trans&sort=date_added&order=d (it’s mostly trans men bc I’m a trans guy myself). If you have any specific genres or themes in mind, feel free to ask
