Although trans* visibility has only increased in recent years, it is not a new experience. Transgressing gender boundaries is not a fad.

Trans* history is as diverse and far-reaching as human civilization. 

In this book I will explore gender nonconformity in early Western civilization.  My focus will be on stories from Late Antiquity through the early Middle Ages in Europe. 

Before reading, please be aware that there have been a lot of negative attitudes directed towards gender variant people throughout history. Negativity does not negate our existence! We exist today, we existed in yesteryear, and our history should no longer be ignored.All Rights Reserved

Standing Up to Life by TiffanyShar

Brandon is a bright boy growing up near Albuquerque, New Mexico. He likes school, soccer, computer games, and playing in the school band. Small for his age and youngest in his class, his size has made him the target of every school bully for years. Each year the verbal and physical abuse increases, finally wearing him down to the point he doesn't know if he can continue. Just as he reaches the end of his rope, he is suddenly befriended by a classmate he least expected. As their friendship grows and deepens, Brandon learns the value of a best friend and finds himself moving down a road he never expected. Over the course of the school year, his friend helps him to discover and cope with his feelings, hopes, dreams - and fears. This is the story of a young person's unusual journey to stand up to the numerous obstacles life has dealt him - and to become the person he believes himself to be. Transgender Fiction

I cut them off, causing the demigod to look up in shock. "...I-I knew you were here, but I didn't expect you to be working here." "...[Y/N]," Isa tensed before glancing behind them, relaxing a second later. "I take it your Father sent you with the medicine? Come in, it's freezing out there anyway." I stepped inside before they shut the door, handing them the bag as I shivered. "You're telling me. At least it's very warm in here." "Mhm," Isa frowned and placed their hand on my lower back to guide me through the castle. "Come on, let's get you warmed up. [Y/N]... There's something you should know before you see Hunter - I know that's another reason you're here."

Reincarnated ~ A Modern Newsies Au (Nowsies) by VaquitaLibra

Some people believe in reincarnation, others don't. But past lives are real, as this group of teens in the 21st century will soon find out. For they are the reincarnates of people who lived a hundred years ago, in 1899. They keep having weird feelings of déjà vu; déjà vu that's increasing. As they struggle to navigate their lives as high schoolers, they search to find out who they were in the past, and what all of these things mean when it comes to their identity and who they are. None of these characters are mine. Rights go to Disney. The story idea and story alone are mine. Please, no homophobia, transphobia, slurs, profanities, hate, etc at all times.

Talk Softly and Carry Your Big Stick with Pride by arieljeanbailey

A transgender woman on the biology, sociology, and history of the gender spectrum. Gender variance is nothing new. Our stories have been told as far back as the 23rd Century BCE. CHECKMATE, TRANSPHOBES! Our chromosomes come in all different variations, and even transgress into other chromosomal systems of different species, eventually transcending all the way back to asexual roots. CHECKMATE, NECKBEARDS! This is the book I wish I'd had when I first began transitioning. I had to look all over the place to find the answers - even just the questions - I was looking for. So I wrote this as a sort of bite-sized one-stop-shop on some of the different concepts that make us who we are. I hope the information found here can help others as much as it helped me. This book is also available in paperback and kindle formats at https://www.amazon.com/Talk-Softly-Carry-Stick-Pride/dp/1719068933/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1539311722&sr=8-1

Three Dresses for Charlie by blugail

After Charlie's mom dumps him on his aunt to take a job in Japan, he finds himself in Galeton, a tourist town were everyone cosplays like it's the 1800s. He starts working in a historic hotel with three girls, and they gently coax him (or should we say her?) out of the closet.

Cinderella Can't be a Guy by Hunter_Kid

Thomas should live in a time and age where people don't care about sexuality or gender identification but that isn't true as his mother refuses to think of him as anything other than her son and Thomas. To the people important in his life, Thomas is actually Ginger and a female. She's almost done with high school and ready to get out from under her oppressive mother's thumb and live the rest of her life how she wants to. This is a story I wrote for creative writing class. I wasn't intending to publish it so I didn't think much about the title. I did take the original title of A Glass Slipper by Jackson Terrance. I really loved this title and I was sad when they changed it.
