I have a good e-reader which helps with the stories here, but I want something on paper and I want to support writers, especially disabled and trans writers who bring some of their perspectives to this. I am suffering from chronic pain and chronic illness, so the idea of upgrading or replacing my body has a lot of appeal.
I have enjoyed some of Bailey Summers' work here, some of K.L. Tremaine's, some of the late Sara Castle's, Ammonite by Nicola Griffith though it is cissexist, Speaking Dreams by Severna Park, and others.
Any suggestions...?
I am also looking at some roleplaying supplements.

I think that in general there are more fantasy books than sci-fi.
Gun Brooke has a sci-fi lesbian series, "Supreme Constellation". The first one, "protector of the realm" is the only one I've read so far, and I enjoyed it.
There's the Isis books by Jean Stewart.
KG Macgregor has a book coming out, T-Minus Two, about a trip to mars.
There's "Destination Alara" by S.Y. Thompson
Melissa Good has a couple of books "Partners".
"Saving Morgan" by MB Panichi
Nova by Lora E Rassmussen
Deep Merge by Linda North
There's also a lot of lesbian supernatural stuff.
