This is a growing, non-comprehensive list of Trans, Nonbinary, Intersex & Gender-Expansive Book Titles originally created to be included in the Trans and Nonbinary Reading Room for the 2023 Asian American Literature Festival on August 4-6, 2023. In the wake of the cancellation of the Asian American Literature Festival, we plan to continue to distribute this book list to support those interested in teaching, reading and engaging in Asian/American, Asian diasporic and BIPOC trans, nonbinary, intersex and gender-creative cultural work.

This reading list is a work in progress. For now, we are only publishing the list of authors who have confirmed that they want to be on this list and that their book information is accurate on Bookshop and ReorientingReads.com. 

Although this list was originally started to highlight published books (with the idea to crowdsource for self-published zines and chapbooks), we will also include links to websites and/or other cultural work for those cultural workers who do not have books on the ReorientingReads website.

If you identify as an Asian Diasporic Trans, Nonbinary, Intersex and Gender-Expansive Author/Artist and you want to be added to the list, please e-mail [email protected]. If you know an author you think should be added to the list, please ask the author to contact us!
