Trans Day of Visibility Book List 2025

This Trans Day of Visibility the Lending Library would like to highlight a few of the many wonderful transgender, nonbinary, and otherwise non-cis authors we have on our shelves. This is not a comprehensive list of everything transgender we have on our shelves, and we focused here on authors who are trans, nonbinary, or who are genders outside cis rather than specifically trans topics.
