I hope that all terfs who followed this blog know that the blog is 100% trans and nonbinary inclusive and that I’ll definitely be looking into posting more wlw book recs with trans women as protagonists as soon as I find them ✌️
I love Nevada by Imogen Binnie, “Lizzie and Annie” by Casey Plett (included in A Safe Girl To Love, which I’m sure is also awesome, but I haven’t read it yet), The Collection edited by Tom Leger has lots of f/f stories, and I really liked Just Girls by Rachel Gold (a cis lesbian character, bi(?) trans woman character, not own voices).
I’ve heard good things about Cinder Ella by S.T. Lynn, but I haven’t read it yet.
If you’re looking to support trans authors, The Red Tree by Caitlin Kiernan has a cis lesbian main character but is by a trans author.

“Nothing takes you out of yourself the way a good book does, but at the same time nothing makes you more aware of yourself as a solitary creature, possessing your own particular tastes, memories, associations, beliefs. Even as it fully engages you with another mind (or maybe many other minds, if you count the characters’ as well as the author’s), reading remains a highly individual act. No one will ever do it precisely the way you do.”
—fromWhy I Read by Wendy Lesser
