I am once again asking for #trans #book recommendations

I asked a while ago on Twitter and got some solid recommendations, up until the hot steamy sex started. Folks, i don't wanna read that

I want books by trans people, about trans people, where the story is just some fun drama, action, adventure, sci-fi, or whatever. Their struggles with gender identity may or may not be a plot point, but i just want to see people like me in the types of stories i enjoy

We are not inherently sexual objects, we're people like any other and there's got to be books that reflect that

Prefer to buy .epub directly from author but I'll buy through Kindle if need be

@deadofwinter romance is the largest book genre in the world and many readers do appreciate seeing themselves represented in a normalizing fashion wrt romantic relationships. As in, yes we also find love and have meet-cutes and be flirty, but romance does often include sex and can sometimes veer into fetishization of marginalized identities, so I get you.

anyway I recommend this action/super hero book my partner really enjoyed:

The Dreadnought by April Daniels
