Overview

I love the version of this challenge that someone else made, and having completed the original, I'm making a new one for 2025. Trans, nonbinary, genderqueer, genderfluid, two-spirit, intersex, and all other forms of genderspiciness count!

In the spirit of respecting author privacy, I'm open to including trans+ stories by folx who aren't (openly) trans, since we don't need to be pestering authors to out themselves. Ideally, though, these books will be Own Voices works, and I hope we'll all keep intersectionality in mind. I'm also leaving the start and end dates open, because why rush ourselves.
