This list has been created as a reaction to the Bookstagram Challenge for #ownvoices on July 31st (check out @bwreviewsblog and @chronicallyreading on Instagram for more information). The literature mostly features books by transgender and gender-neutral authors sharing their own stories.
This list is still growing, so please add books if you know of them (please try to stick to the theme). Since everyone's allowed to distribute suggestions, I cannot vouch for every item added to the list.
