It can be really exciting and empowering to read about queer people - plus, it's so fun. :) This page has all sorts of media listed, not just books. We have films, television shows, radio shows and podcasts, magazines, etc. - all here!

Check out our lists of books about GLBTQetc. characters and themes.

Remember, this is a wiki, so if we're missing a book you can add it! You can also add comments about books on the list. Let us know if you liked them, what kind of issues they included, or whatever you think other people might want to know.

ISBNs are included to make your life easier. You can call any bookstore and give them any ISBN, and they can easily find it in their computer and order it for you (or tell you if they have it in stock). No more searching shelves, trying to remember the names of publishers, etc.

NetLibrary is a fantastic resource for those in the United States. You have to have access to NetLibrary in order to view it, but check with your local public library - many public libraries have a subscription to NetLibrary and can help you set up an account. There are also a number of other Trans-related books on there, mostly non-fiction. Notably, there is a book available about Asperger's/autism and transsexualism. It may not be the ideal way to read a book, but it is a cheap, accessible way to find something you may be having a hard time getting your hands on.

If you are in the US and looking for a print copy of something and having trouble finding it, search at WorldCat, which asks for your ZIP code and spits out a list of libraries near you that have the book you ask for. In many cases, your public library can request a copy on interlibrary loan at no cost to you. Most librarians are way more interested in you having access to information than they are in your gender identity or sexual orientation, so it's a pretty safe group to make this kind of request of, even if you are trying to be discrete or you have some concerns about being judged.
