You can get the UK version via Book Depository, Waterstones, or Blackwell’s. I Was Born for Thisby Alice Oseman – Note: this is only under the gaydar with the British copy the copy on the version coming out in the US in October 2022 does state that Jimmy is trans. For the sake of this post, I’ll just mention that the protagonist is a trans girl and that’s not in the copy. Pet by Akwaeke Emezi – This was a Backlist Book of the Month on the site in 2021, so you can read a lot more about it here. When the Moon Was Ours by Anna-Marie McLemore – This absolutely lovely m/f romance steeped in magical realism includes trans boy Sam as one half of the couple.
(And please do read the notes below as well.)
Please note that most of these have some potentially triggering content, including transphobia and abuse, so I do encourage reading reviews, if that’s helpful to you. This edition is dedication to YA with trans and/or nonbinary main characters, with the aim of helping readers find books that explore gender identity and can more safely be read in unsafe spaces. “Under the Gaydar” features books you might not realize have queer content but do! And definitely belong on your radar.
