Transfem authors of fiction: a list
I wrote a version of this list in Swedish for a meatspace friend, figure I might redo it for a tumblr audience. The books recommended are usually novels, and in case of prolific authors, the one recommended is usually the most successful and acclaimed one. I haven't read all of these, but I'm working on it. The list is in alphabetical order after the author's last name. I added some notes to the list, to introduce the authors and their books.
Nota Bene this list is based on my personal research, and largely reflects my own tastes in fiction, as in what I've read and considered reading. And it is of course not at all complete. And it's a transfem authors list, so no transmasc authors no matter how worthy. And it's about authors of fiction, not memoirs or non-fiction. So no Christine Jorgensen, even if she wrote a book I want to read. And Jan Morris gets in based on her two Hav novels, not her more prolific non-fiction work. Links are to my reviews on this blog if they exist.
Anders, Charlie Jane - SF/F writer, debuted with Choir Boy (2005), but most famous for All The Birds in the Sky (which won a Nebula).
Aoki, Ryka - her latest sf/f novel Light from Uncommon Stars is her most popular, but she has published both fiction and poetry before.
Becker, Saga - Våra Tungor Smakar våld (Swedish author, her book is untranslated, although quite good)
Binnie, Imogen - Nevada
Daniels, April - Dreadnought and its sequel Sovereign. Novels about a teenage trans girl superhero.
Deane, Maya - Wrath Goddess Sing
Felker-Martin, Gretchen - Manhunt (horror novel)
Kaveney, Roz - Tiny Pieces of Skull (also wrote the Rhapsody of Blood fantasy series, plus numerous poetry collections and non-fiction)
Kiernan, Caitlin R. - Usually categorized as a horror author, written numerous novels and short stories since her debut novel SIlk in 1998. The most acclaimed are probably her novels The Red Tree and The Drowning Girl (which won the Bram Stoker Award)
Leitz, May - Fluids and Girlflesh (review forthcoming)
Morris, Jan - Hav (mostly wrote non-fiction, history books and travel literature, Hav is an omnibus of her two novels about Hav, both "imagined travelogues" about a fictitious country)
Peters, Torrey - Detransition Baby
Plett, Casey - Little Fish (Lambda award winner)
Pollack, Rachel - Prolific writer of several kinds of books, including a pioneering career as a sf/f writer. Did her fictional debut with a short story in a 1971 anthology (credited under her deadname) and published her first novel Golden Vanity in 1980, which are literally the earliest pieces of fiction by an out trans person (not memoir or non-ficton) I've been able to find. So very much a pioneer. Her most acclaimed book is probably Godmother Night (1996) which won the World Fantasy Award. Also wrote comics, most notably Doom Patrol.
Rumfitt, Alison - Tell me I'm Worthless
Serano, Julia - 99 Erics (her debut as a novelist after years of pioneering transfeminist writing and poetry)
Thornton, Jeanne - Summer Fun (Lambda award winner)

Movie Reviews:
GenerationofSwine: It’s time for the Majestic review….
…RED SCARE!!!!
It makes a play at it in the very start of the film. It loudly proclaims that, HEY, WATCH THIS MOVIE, IT’S ABOUT FREE SPEECH AND THE HOLLYWOOD BLACKLIST!!!!! And it does it as loud as it can…
…and then it kind of forgets what the movie is about up until the last 15 minutes.
However, the bulk of the movie does seem like the kind of film that would fit in the Hollywood Blacklist Era. The plot, the acting, the setting, all seems to be very much a 1950s feel good movie…
…and then it veers off again and delivers on the 1st Amendment moral to end the film with a light heavy hand…if that makes sense.
So, it feels disjointed, but in a way that oddly fits the premise to begin with. Almost as if it is trying to be a movie in a movie, which might have been the point.
Watch it once, it will entertain you. Watch it more than once and you’ll be bored.

Alison Eves
Alison Eves will tell you she’s ‘not like the other girls’ even though it’s hardly uncommon for women in Wyvern’s Bay to practice swordfighting, wear chainmail, or be openly bisexual. But Alison walks to the beat of her own drum, and that alone is enough to set her apart - or so she thinks.
Gender: Female
Age: Adult
Zodiac: Aries
Aspiration: Popularity + Knowledge
Sexuality: bisexual
LTW: Become Hall of Famer
OTH: Sports
Personality: Neat 4; Outgoing 8; Active 9; Playful 4; Nice 3
Traits: [Bourgeoisie], Brave, Hot-Headed, Slob, Rebellious, Party Animal
Turn-Ons: Fitness, Good reputation
Turn-Offs: Robots
Skills: Cooking 0; Mechanical 6; Charisma 2; Body 8; Logic 1; Creativity 0; Cleaning 0
(Originally Alison by @deedee-sims. I didn’t temper with her features, only changed her coloring and gave her WB-appropriate clothes)
Lucian Elliott
Graceful and supple like a swan, Lucian is a true artiste; Wyvern’s Bay is just too plebeian to know how to appreciate his cutting-edge dance performances. If it wasn’t for the generous financial support of his patron, lady Danes, he swears he’d be this close to just throwing in the towel and going to work at the local brothel. It isn’t easy, being so ahead of your time.
*Species: Elf
Gender: Male
Age: Adult
Zodiac: Libra
Aspiration: Pleasure + Romance
Sexuality: bisexual
LTW: Become Rock God
OTH: Music & Dance
Personality: Neat 2; Outgoing 8; Active 2; Playful 6; Nice 8
Traits: [Outcast], Avant-garde, Dramatic, Inappropriate, Night Owl, Over-emotional
Turn-Ons: Great dancer, Rich
Turn-Offs: Lycanthropy
Skills: Cooking 1; Mechanical 0; Charisma 6; Body 4; Logic 5; Creativity 6; Cleaning 0
(Originally Ezra by Deedee-sims, but with ever so slightly modified features, turned elf, and given a WB-appropriate makeover)
Ruben Blake
Tall, dark, and fairly handsome, Ruben has the unenviable reputation of being somewhat of a womanizer. But if asked, he’ll swear up, down, and centrefold that he’s just a simple family man who hasn’t found The Right One yet. Perhaps the truth lies somewhere in the middle.
Gender: Male
Age: Adult
Zodiac: Gemini
Aspiration: Family + Romance
Sexuality: straight
LTW: Have 20 simultaneous lovers
OTH: Sports
Personality: Neat 4; Outgoing 7; Active 8; Playful 3; Nice 3
Traits: [Peasant], Flirty, Heavy sleeper, Unlucky, Born salesperson, Handy
Turn-Ons: Blond hair, Great cook
Turn-Offs: Fitness
Skills: Cooking 1; Mechanical 5; Charisma 0; Body 6; Logic 0; Creativity 0; Cleaning 2
*Talents: Gardening - silver; Fishing - bronze
(Originally Blake by Jessi-dot)
Maxwell Pollack
Most would describe Maxwell Pollack as ‘unconventional’, but only because it’d be rude to straight-up say that he’s a weirdo. Lord Pollack’s peculiar interests and unusual pursuits have established him as an eccentric, which is a title that he wears like he does any other - recklessly and with pride.
Gender: Male
Age: Adult
Zodiac: Sagittarius
Aspiration: Knowledge + Pleasure
Sexuality: gay
LTW: Become Space Pirate
OTH: Film & Literature
Personality: Neat 8; Outgoing 5; Active 8; Playful 5; Nice 4
Traits: [Gentry], Eccentric, Perceptive, Commitment issues, Supernatural fan, Genius
Turn-Ons: Logical, Witchiness
Turn-Offs: Great dancer
Skills: Cooking 0; Mechanical 3; Charisma 6; Body 8; Logic 9; Creativity 1; Cleaning 0
(Originally Max by Jessi-dot)
Tabitha Dawson
Idealistic and a bit starry-eyed, Tabitha has the tendency to live with her head in the clouds. She’s aware that real life doesn’t operate on the same frequency as her imagined little dreamworld, but that’s never stopped her from hoping that it might one day. After all, everyone knows that if you wish for something hard enough, it eventually comes true.
Gender: Female
Age: Adult
Zodiac: Aquarius
Aspiration: Family + Fortune
Sexuality: straight
LTW: Raise 20 Puppies or Kittens
OTH: Cuisine
Personality: Neat 7; Outgoing 4; Active 3; Playful 6; Nice 7
Traits: [Yeoman], Easily impressed, Frugal, Animal lover, Light sleeper, Hopeless romantic
Turn-Ons: Fitness, Hard Worker
Turn-Offs: Grey hair
Skills: Cooking 6; Mechanical 1; Charisma 0; Body 0; Logic 1; Creativity 1; Cleaning 5
*Talents: learned Parenting, learned Lifelong Happiness
(Originally Tabitha by Jessi-dot)
