The Expanse authors finish final book, win bet with George R.R. Martin

Author J.K. Rowling came under fire Saturday for mocking a headline using trans-inclusive language. While she has been accused of transphobia for years, many readers have become weary of continuing to support her books.

Actor Daniel Radcliffe, famous for his roles in movies based on Rowling’s “Harry Potter” series, said he hoped Rowling’s recent comments wouldn’t “taint” fans’ opinions of the franchise. The books taught that “love is the strongest force in the universe,” he noted.

If sex isn’t real, there’s no same-sex attraction. If sex isn’t real, the lived reality of women globally is erased. I know and love trans people, but erasing the concept of sex removes the ability of many to meaningfully discuss their lives. It isn’t hate to speak the truth.

If you’re looking for some alternative to “Harry Potter” this summer or if you’re simply hoping to expand your bookcase, there’s a vast and growing collection of fantasy and science fiction books that offer magic and suspense beyond the boy wizard series. To help get you started, here’s a primer on novels in the genre written by and about transgender and nonbinary people.
