@C0y0te_B0nez: do you have a library card and does your library come with a subscription to libby or hoopla?

fun home by alison bechdel (deals with her coming out as a lesbian, her father being closeted and having affairs with other men, and her gender non conformity) (this is also the author of the dykes to watch out for series. she also wrote a second memoir called "are you my mother" which i'm not sure what that one is about because i haven't read it)

literally anything by alex gino (the loosely connected melissa/rick/green series, you don't know everything jilly p, alice austen lived here, etc.)

the lives of dax (would recommend watching deep space 9 first, but the book still makes sense even if you didn't watch it) (dax, and all trill, if you think about it are all trans bisexual systems. this is about all the different lives that the dax symbiont (literally a giant worm that goes in your stomach that holds dax's consiousness and memories) and the hosts (the bodies it lives in) have had) (star trek in general has a LOT of queer representation, especially on deep space 9)

beyond magenta (interviews transgender teenagers about their lives and transitioning, etc. i think the book was written around 2012?) (this book also talks a lot about abuse and S/A as well so be prepared when reading it)

gracefully grayson (this book is EXTREMELY sad)
