Abstract
This anthology of 25 speculative short stories by a wide variety of trans writers is simply phenomenal. Plenty of the trans experiences expressed are also sapphic. The stories are all over the speculative fiction map: horror, dystopian, alternate realities, mythical pasts, cyberpunk, and all variations of science fictional futures. One of my personal favorites was “Satan, Are You There? It’s Me, Laura?” by Aisling Fae. In that story Satan is a bad-ass trans woman and God is a douchebro who’s in love with her but obviously unworthy. “No Comment” by Ayse Devrim is another standout where the “single, surly, and sauced” trans woman Maryam, who is a recent recipient of a uterus transplant, finds herself mysteriously pregnant a la Jane the Virgin.
