Anyone know of any sci-fi fiction with interesting takes on gender/sexuality/biology?

3 years ago by magic to c/printsf

So I'm not super familiar with science fiction outside of the occasional story in anthologies, but something I'm aware occasionally pops up tends to involve futuristic interpretation of gender and sexuality, along with odd and out there biology. I think it'd be very fun to read a book that discusses these topics, however I don't know where to start.

Does anyone have any recommendations?

Octavia E. Butler - “Bloodchild” (short story)

James A. Tiptree - “The Screwfly Solution” (short story)

Samuel R. Delany - nearly everything he’s written

M. John Harrison - “Light”

Joanna Russ - “The Female Man” (curious how this holds up in 2023)
