Looking for recommendations for books with trans protagonists (pawb.social)

I've been going to a queer book club, and we're currently looking for books with trans characters to read next month.

Ideally we'd like a standalone book (not part of a series), and a story where trans identity is a significant part of it.

Thank you :)

Ah, and we also read Proxy by Aiki Mira. All three protagonists are kind of queer, though one of them is a trans femme singer struggling between their virtual and real life identity.

Though I myself didn't like the writing style of the book. Others in the book club didn't have problems with it.
