Transcendent: The Year's Best Transgender Speculative Fiction

Transcending gender norms in speculative fiction worlds.

If you're keen to explore stories that push beyond traditional gender boundaries through fantastical and thought-provoking narratives, "Transcendent" could be a great fit. It showcases a collection where identity and diversity are at the forefront, offering a fresh and inclusive perspective within the realms of science fiction and fantasy. This anthology is a vibrant celebration of the diversity of human experience, tailored for open-minded readers who love their speculative fiction with a side of meaningful commentary.

Description

There are fantastical stories with actual transgender characters, some for whom that is central and others for whom that isn't. And there are stories without transgender characters, but with metaphors and symbolism in their place, genuine expressions of self through such speculative fiction tropes as shapeshifting and programming. Transgender individuals see themselves in transformative characters, those outsiders, before seeing themselves as human protagonists. Those feelings are still valid. But though the stories involve transformation and outsiders, sometimes the change is one of self-realization. This anthology will be a welcome read for those who are ready to transcend gender through the lens of science fiction, fantasy, and other works of imaginative fiction.
