Transgender Fiction
Transgender Fiction - Sara Desmarais

Sara is a mistress of the "Sissy" Genre. These are stories where a man is given a push to try something feminine and gradually pushed to the point of being completely feminized, transformed, chastised, and cuckolded. These books are a gentler form of forced feminization which is pushed or led by a loving partner. They are reluctant to change at first, but gradually find that they love being beautiful women. These books are also popular with some transgender girls who haven't transitioned or are transitioning later in life. These people have often been forced to hide the girl and pretend to be the man for years, or even decades. The fantasy of having someone forcing them to reveal the girl inside begging to come out and play, can have intense appeal.
Fair warning - these books are sexually explicit and include sexually explicit material including anal sex and bondage.

Courtney Captisa has had a strong interest in transformation since childhood. In her early teens, she discovered several webpages such as Fictionmania. She enjoys writing clean stories. Deb - Sometimes, all it takes to get a the girl to come out of a transgender male, is a little push from a friend, a sister, or a loving parent. Courtney's books often start with a not-so-gentle push from someone who suspects, and only after reluctant cooperation, do they finally get in touch with the girl inside. These stories are not sexually explicit and include loving and caring coaches. These types of books, often called "Sissy" books are very popular among transgender girls, because so many of us have been forced to be boys for so long that we desperately want that push, but we are terrified to ask because we are afraid of rejection. |

Tanya Allan is a prolific writer of various works, including novels, short stories and poetry. Some of her work, relating to transgender issues, may be familiar to those who feel that perhaps life would have been easier had they been born with a body and mind of the same gender. Her other - non-TG work has also been published, but under a different name. Deb - One of the things I love about Tanya's books is how she combines her experiences an undercover and spy-work with being transgender. Most transgender girls feel like they are "undercover" trying to look and act like a boy and keep their feminine identity a secret, and the consequences of having that cover blown can include beatings, serious injury, even death. |
Transgender Fiction - Sandy Thomas

Sandy ThomasSandy is a writer of transgender fiction that focuses on cross-dressing and "late awakenings." Most of the stories use gentle versions of forced feminization, Often the young male victim is tricked, loses a bet, or seduced into the initial dressing up, and gradually gets in touch with the girl he has been trying so hard to hide. Often, the object of transformation is reluctant, struggles with himself and his coach, but ultimately finds happiness as a woman. These stories are erotic but not overly explicit in sexually explicit language. Forced feminization is a common fantasy for transgender women and cisgender women. Cisgender women often find they desire to feminize a man, especially someone who tries to act too masculine. Ironically, a transgender woman living in stealth is often too easy. The give-away in these stories is that the objections have nothing to do with not wanting to be feminine, but rather with their fear of being recognized, ridiculed, or not being able to "pass". These concerns are often a giveaway that the transformed person secretly wants to transition. Sandy has written or published over 200 books. Below are the ones I've read and enjoyed. |

Transgender Fiction - Karin Bishop

Karin is an experienced writer with remarkable insights into the character and nature of transgender girls and transgender women. A common trademark is that her transgender characters are remarkably intelligent, insightful, and wise. I could tell you why this is accurate, but her books show it so much better. All of her characters are interesting, complex, and inspiring. Many of them are very enjoyable. The plots are also creative and imaginative, with many interesting and unpredictable twists. Many of her stories involve a young boy or man who is socially transgender, socializing primarily with women, and engaging in activities. Often they are physically feminine as well. Sometimes they are tricked into transition, other times they are pushed or coerced initially, other times it's just a "game". In each case, however, the initial nudge breaks open a floodgate of desire to transition and what started as a reluctant episode of "Dress-up" becomes an aggressive desire to transition because they realize how much happier they are as girls. |

This series is an exciting adventure in the style of Tanya Allen, one of my other favorite authors. The series takes us from a family on the run with a young boy forced to pose as a girl, to a happy family - eventually. Lots of adventure in between. |

Transgender Fiction - Katie Leone
Katie Leone (aka Katie Leonard)
The late great Katie Leone was one of my favorite authors. Her insights and humanity were inspirational, and her stories always touch the heart, often very deeply. Her understanding of poverty, Christianity, and transsexuality made her stories real and touching.
The God Bless the Child Series

Jeremy suspects dogs might be safer than people, and clings to Chase's K-9 partner. He needs a refuge while his next of kin are found; Chase is willing to bring the boy home to his wife Melissa rather than separate the child from the dog.

It is certainly not the norm for a four year old child to have sexual reassignment surgery, but that is the course of action that K-9 officer Chase Milan and his wife Melissa take for their adopted child. It was an extreme action and the community responds, some accepting what has happened and others who have not.
Finding Jenny
Jenny is a ten year old girl like many others; she is interested in boys, in pleasing her parents and having fun with her friends Christine and Rachael. Jenny is a girl like any other, except that she was born male.

With patience and love, her parents guide her through the difficult labyrinth of repressed memories and deep emotional scars that resurface. All around her try to help her come to grips with the past, until the past snatches her away.
Highly emotional, deeply disturbing, here is one girls journey that so many others are forced to make.
