Looking for fiction with good trans representation that my family might read. Need books that:

  1. Normalize trans experiences for cis individuals,
  2. Match specific genres/themes for each family member, and
  3. Don't scream "trans" from the cover.

Dad's into Tom Clancy, so a military submarine thriller with trans representation would be ideal—super specific, right? Wonder how that would play out!
