You have to screen lesbian romance novels carefully these days to filter out the theys and the trans, not to mention the obsessive dog people (don't read any vet / pet / animal shelter / etc related novels unless you are a fan of the noisy slobbering beasts)

Got any recommendations? I've been meaning to try to find a couple good books but have put off doing so because I don't want to start a whole book and realize halfway through it's some pro-trans spiel :/

I'm loathe to give recommendations because what I like may be not what someone else likes, as I've discovered when I try books others recommend to me.

Usually the reviews of Goodreads are a good way to tell, filter by 1* and 2* reviews and there is usually someone commenting if it's something pro-trans disguised as a lesbian novel.

Ah, now THAT'S a good tip! Thanks, will watch out for that.
