Asking for some help identifying a story I read between 20 and 25 years ago (so around Y2K)
The main elements that I remember are that it featured a post-fall setting, where an all female, Borg-like race had taken over. They would attack settlements and brainwash the women to join them, and feminize and brainwash the men too. Converted males were the ones given birthing duties.
The main character had a companion that came from a race/tribe that was androgynous until adulthood, and chooses their gender.
The main character spent some time captured by the enemy as they tried to break him. They weren't succesfull, and he either escaped or was saved by the companion. At the end of it, he's still male, and the companion chooses to be female to be with him.
Not sure how much it counts as a transgender story, but it certainly had the themes. It was more of a mind control story. Been trying to find it a while and hoping somebody has an idea or clue to help me.
Much appreciated.

I dont have an answer but the story sounds interesting.
Could it be some story by Lethaldaza?
ALL her stories are about a one dimensional female race taking over the Earth, nation by nation, brainwashing the women and feminizing the men. That's all they do, humorlessly and singlemindedly, with no personalities beyond a hatred of men and a need to eradicate them by turning them into totally unfeminine THINGS like the conquerors themselves, that look like sexy women but act like viruses bent on one single goal. They go on + on about their superiority but there is nothing appealing about their lives. They don't seem to take any pleasure in their being gorgeous females and there is ZERO hot girl-on-girl sex in these stories. Totally Borg-like.
Every chapter is pretty much like the last, tedious in the extreme; and so full of typos, incomrehensible run-on sentences and mangled prose they're barely readable. The dialogue is all k And the author herself seemed to be really into the idea. But they do fit your description pretty closely. Here's a typical chapter from early in the first story she posted, called History Has Changed and the Earth is Now Ruled by Amazon Women:
