5 SFF Books For Transgender Awareness Week

Every year in November, communities around the world raise awareness, to celebrate the lives and recognize the struggles of our transgender friends and family, culminating with Transgender Day of Remembrance on November 20th, to honor and remember all those lost to bigotry and violence. In honor of this week and this day, here are a few SFF stories we've loved this last year from trans authors, or featuring trans main characters.
