Here's a good start! Might have to make a mlm trans pack or something just to show folks these guys are out there. Go browse this list and follow some artists while I sleep. And let me know if you see any tm/f in there... send it my way, heh heh...
Not exclusively trans gay but maybe these help?

I was hit with some suprise expenses and so I'm finding myself without enough money to make rent at the end of the month. So I'm doing this YCH special to make up the difference. Any help, whether that's buying a slot or too or sharing this would be really really appreciated! Thank you!

Ignited, my debut novel, doesn't get much attention these days as it's not incredibly indicative of what I write these days, but I still have such a soft spot for it. If you like sapphic urban fantasy with a little bit of spice, slower burn, you'll like this.

Being a trans author is fucking weird right now. Hell is actively unfolding all around us but I still need to be like, "hey, everyone, wanna buy my silly little queer book? It won't make anything better, but it's kinda fun?"
So....hey, everyone, wanna buy my silly little queer book?

Have a sci fi adventure this summer where two queer runaways intend to reclaim their lives from the federation. There's also vampires. A severed head that might be alive. A cybernetic cat. Some grave robbing (as a treat!)...
