Does anyone know of any literature of novels where the main character is a transgender person?

I feel like the only thing they are in is erotica

>>	Anonymous Mon Feb 17 01:03:47 2014 No.4576790 >>4576763 That's true. What would you call it? It seemed like something out of a Greek play.

>>	Anonymous Mon Feb 17 01:03:47 2014 No.4576791 There's tons of literature on the mentally ill.

This is the actively, knowingly definitive piece of literature on the topic, though in most of Carson McCuller's stuff there's usually a character who might be trans.
