Can anyone recommend books that have gender changing as a major
part of the story? There are too many books listed in the official
section of the site to figure out which ones might actually be
good. Not interested in short stories or porn. Has to be something
that if someone saw me reading it, they wouldn't automatically
think it was just being read for gender themes.
Thanks for any help.

The only ones I can think of off hand would be several works of
Jack Chalker, most notably The Identity Matrix. There is also The
Dragon Princess(first of a trilogy, and if you want the situation
to remain permanent then just read the first book of the series).
There's the comic book Crosswind, which is available as a trade
paperback. There was going to be a Jo Walton book which had the
gender change as a major plot point, but several LGBT people read
the synopsis and complained about it and so had it cancelled.
While there are many books with some sort of gender change in them,
very few have it as a major part of the story(unless you're going
with the porn route). I think there are some TG fiction authors who
self publish on Amazon or other digital store fronts, but I can't
think of any names off hand.

Thank you, I guess I am looking for other authors like Jack
Chalker. I've read a lot (maybe all?) of his books but wanted to
know if anyone else has written something comparable. Doesn't have
to be as openly sexual as his works but something along the same
lines would be what I'm looking for.

It's always been one of my favorites. I have a paperback copy and
re-read it every couple of years.

In "Elminster: The Making of a Mage (Forgotten Realms) " is a
D&D story there the main person Eleminster (think Merlin or
Gandalf) get turned into a woman (priest) for about 1/4 to 1/3 of
the story (in the middle). While she does get a female lover that
stay with her when she turns back into a man it is safe for High
school kids to read.
P.S. This was my fav of all the D&D books I have read in my
life.

Here you have a few
The Swap - Megan Shull
With one random wish, Jack and Ellie are living life in each
other's shoes. He's her. And she's him. Ellie assumed popular guys
didn't worry about body image, being perfect, or talking to girls,
but acting like you're cool with everything is tougher than it
looks. Jack thought girls had it easy — no fights with bullies, no
demanding dads, no power plays — but facing mean girls at
sleepovers and getting grilled about your period is way harder than
taking a hit to the face at sports practice. Now they're dealing
with each other's middle school dramas—locker room teasing,
cliques, video game battles, bra shopping, and a slew of
hilariously awkward moments — until they hopefully switch back!.
In My Shoes - Adrian Stephens
Jake thought Nicole was the perfect girl. Nicole thought Jake was
just another clown, cut from the same cloth as his best friend,
Mike. After Nicole harshly rejects Jake in his attempt at a date,
Jake vows he would never treat a guy like that if he were a girl.
The next day, his unintentional wish comes true as they wake up in
each others' rooms...and bodies. Jake and Nicole quickly learn that
being the opposite sex has its challenges. Not knowing how this
happened or if and when they will change back, they soon realize
they will need to work together or risk wrecking each others'
lives. Along the way, they may just find they have more in common
than they thought possible.
Collide Into You - Kelly Washington
When twenty-seven-year-old Army Sergeant Keira Holtslander, an
orderly and rule-loving intelligence analyst, is reassigned to the
Pentagon for a special assignment, she agrees to room with her
brother's best friend, Dillan Pope. But there's a problem. Several,
in fact. He's sarcastic, egotistical, full of himself, extremely
attractive, and a womanizer. Within a matter of days, her life is
chaos. She didn't like him when they met nine years ago, and her
opinion isn't likely to change now. Dillan Pope, a thirty-year-old
career businessman climbing his way up the corporate ladder, has
learned to use his looks, charm, and sexual skills to his
advantage. There isn't much he cannot accomplish. Women easily
tumble into his bed and business deals come about effortlessly. But
when his best friend's little sister moves in, he knows he's in
trouble. She's rather hostile toward him, which takes him by
surprise. Not even his patented smile works on her, but maybe
that’s why Keira, aka Sergeant Prim and Proper, has always been the
one girl he hasn’t been able to forget since their first meeting,
nine years ago. When a meddling barista puts a charm on the
roommates, causing them to swap bodies, they must live as the other
until they both own up to some hard truths. They quickly learn that
panic, fighting, and accusations will get them nowhere. Until they
can learn the lessons they refuse to acknowledge, they experience
life as the other. Along the way they are forced to concede that
maybe the other isn’t so bad. Maybe there's a reason they hated
each other. And admitting the feelings that lay hidden may be the
only way to undo the switch.
My Lady, My Lord - Katharine Ashe
Lady Corinna Mowbray has three passions: excellent books,
intelligent conversation, and disdaining the libertine Earl of
Chance. The Rake Lord Ian Chance has three pleasures: beautiful
women, fast horses, and tormenting high-and-mighty Corinna Mowbray.
Neighbors for years, they've been at each other's throats since
they can remember. But when a twist of fate forces them to trade
lives, how long will it be before they discover they cannot live
without each other?.
Girl - David Thomas
Bradley Barrett is a regular guy, athletic, sexually active with a
nice job and a passion for soccer. But after a visit to the
hospital to remove his wisdom teeth, nothing is like it was before.
Due to an unfortunate accident, he receives a sexual reassignment
(gender change) surgery and wakes up in the women's section staring
in the face of Charmaine, a transsexual woman, who was listed for
the surgery, Bradley didn't want to have. But there is no turning
back. His father is speechless of embarrassment, his mother hands
him a nightgown and women's underwear, his girlfriend breaks up
with him and his sister teaches him how to put on make-up. So,
Bradley slowly accepts his fate and lives as a woman and after a
while even enjoys it
The Lord Pretender - Sawyer North
Step 1: Come up with the perfect plan Emma Watts was almost the
perfect lady. That is, until her father joined the notorious
Prometheans’ Club and gambled away all her prospects. Now, cast out
of society, and with only her name intact, Emma will do what a
young, intelligent lady can when she is thwarted by circumstance.
Take revenge, of course. And the gentlemen's club, including its
members, is first on the list… Step 2: Find your target Simon, the
Earl of Blackburn, the most prominent member of the Prometheans,
knows firsthand how dangerous a wily woman with an agenda can be;
after all, his mother is the most devious of the species. But a
string of chance encounters with a charming and breathtaking
stranger leads him to reconsider. Step 3: Then watch your plans go
beautifully to pieces Upon learning that a mystery woman is digging
up dirt on his club brothers, Simon volunteers to uncover her
identity and ruin her by any means necessary. But all it takes is a
nasty thunderstorm to completely switch Emma's and Simon's lives.
Their perspectives aren’t the only things that change though, when
they wake up in each other’s bodies…
The Sex Gates - Jeanine Berry
When thousands of gates suddenly and mysteriously appear on Earth,
No one knows where they came from. Some think it is the start of an
alien invasion. Others credit God. Soon humanity discovers that
when the old and the sick go through these gates, they become young
again and their illnesses are cured. But there is a catch!. Not
everyone makes it through the first time. Some people simply
vanish. Those who do go through the gate emerge with their sex
changed -- men become women and women become men. And no one can go
back through the gate a second time. Everyone who tries disappears.
When Gravity Fails - George Alec Effinger
Set in a cyberpunk-style future where surgical sex changes are
common.. Yasmin, Marid Audran on-and-off girlfriend, is a
transwoman now working as a (rather successful) prostitute. Nikki
is also a prostitute that was born male. The black widows are a
trio of women assassins, that also were born males.
Self - Yann Martel
The narrator, at first male, explains various events from his early
childhood, living with a traveling family who finally settle in
Ottawa, Ontario. He goes on to explain events from his years in
private school, until he graduates and travels to Portugal, where
he, on his eighteenth birthday, wakes up as a female. Surprisingly
unfazed by her transformation, the narrator concludes her trip and
begins university back in the fictional Roetown. She begins
writing, and keeps travel in her life, eventually visiting such
places as Spain and Thailand, to name a few. She shares romances
with a select few — males and females alike. Eventually she gets
published, and after graduating, moves to Montreal, where she gets
a job as a waitress while continuing to write. At her job she meets
Tito, her final love. But as the novel is nearing a conclusion, she
is suddenly raped by a vicious neighbour in her secluded apartment
and her body reverts to being a male again.
Orlando: A Biography - Virginia Wolf
Orlando tells the story of a young man named Orlando, born in
England during the reign of Elizabeth I, who decides not to grow
old. He is briefly a lover to the elderly queen, but after her
death has a brief, intense love affair with Sasha, a princess in
the entourage of the Russian embassy. This episode, of love and
excitement against the background of the Great Frost, is one of the
best known, and is said to represent Vita Sackville-West's affair
with Violet Trefusis. Following Sasha's sudden, unwarned departure
and return to Russia, the desolate, heartbroken Orlando returns to
writing The Oak Tree, a poem started and abandoned in his youth. He
meets with Nicholas Greene, a famous poet and with whom he joyfully
entertains, but who criticises Orlando's writing, later making
Orlando feel betrayed when he finds himself made the
foolishly-depicted subject of one of Greene's subsequent works.
This period of contemplating love and life leads Orlando to
appreciate the value of his ancestral stately home, which he
proceeds to furnish lavishly and then plays host to the populace.
Ennui sets in and the harassment of a persistent suitor, the
Archduchess Harriet, leads to Orlando's fleeing the country when
appointed by King Charles II as British ambassador to
Constantinople. Orlando performs his duties well, until a night of
civil unrest and murderous riots. He falls asleep for a lengthy
period of days while in Turkey, resistant to all efforts to rouse
him. Upon awakening he finds, unsurprised, that he has
metamorphosed into a woman—the same person, with the same
personality and intellect, but in a woman's body. The now Lady
Orlando covertly escapes Constantinople in the company of a Gypsy
clan, adopting their way of life until its essential conflict with
her upbringing leads her to head home. Only on the ship back to
England, with her constraining female clothes and an incident in
which a flash of her ankle nearly results in a sailor's falling to
his death, does she realize the magnitude of becoming a woman; yet
she concludes the overall advantages, declaring 'Praise God I'm a
woman!' Back in England, Orlando is hounded once again by the
archduchess, who now reveals herself in fact to be a man, the
Archduke Harry. Orlando evades his marriage proposals, instead
living a life switching between gender roles, dressing as both man
and woman. Orlando soon becomes caught up in the life of the
eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, holding court with the great
poets (notably Alexander Pope), including Nick Greene who appears
to be as timeless as she, now promoting her writing and promising
to help her publish The Oak Tree. Orlando wins a lawsuit over her
property and marries a sea captain, Marmaduke Bonthrop Shelmerdine.
In 1928, she publishes The Oak Tree centuries after starting it,
winning a prize. As her husband's ship returns, in the aftermath of
her success, she rushes to greet him.
Moonsword - Diana Hignutt
In the kingdom of Lorm, Prince Tolian is not only the realm's
mightiest warrior, but he is also the direct heir to the throne.
However, when a prophecy foretells the end of his world, he must
consent to become transformed into a woman—the Champion, who alone
can hope to stand against the coming evil. When the demon who would
usher in Lorm's end enters the kingdom, Tolian agrees to shed his
sex and gender for those of the Champion. After learning how to
behave as a lady, the bold warrior woman perfects her magical
powers as he seeks the fabled Moonsword, battling a monstrous horde
of evil creatures before clashing with the demon itself.

Great body swap novel. Stay that way.

Here to give another +1 to where I end and you begin. The book has
that YA easy read appeal to it but I think they did interesting
things with the swap dynamic. For example, one character’s dyslexia
stays in their body and the other person needs to deal with it.

I think you might like Seabury Quinn's Alien Flesh. Written in 1951
but not published until after his death in 1977
The plot involves the magical/surgical implantation of a young
woman’s soul in the body of the man who had accidentally caused her
death; her new body becomes fully female to the initial horror of
his soul, which still shares it with her.
If you can find it the book has a few lovely illustrations also.
