For the love of transfeminine literature.

Since the founding of Topside Press and the subsequent publication of Nevada by Imogen Binnie in 2013, transfeminine fiction has emerged into the international literary consciousness like never before. Novels by trans women have found unprecedented success through a slew of publishing deals, literary awards, and mainstream attention. However, the history of trans literature began many decades before 2013, and very little scholarship has engaged with this history, its unique genres and long development, or the works and authors who have toiled largely in obscurity to gain equal access to the press.

This blog aims to document the history of transfeminine literature, highlighting lesser known fiction by transfeminine writers and offering some broader thoughts on the general state and trajectory for trans writers both within and without the publishing industry.
