Selection criteria
Prerequisites
Before evaluating a work's notability, we should make sure it's relevant to the list, and within its scope.
Must be on-topic
Although the word
Must be substantial
Works in which transgender is incidental or marginal dilute the list and make it more difficult to find the most relevant works. Therefore, for all entries, at least one of the following must be true:
- Transgender is either the subject of the work or a major theme.
- The original researchis involved in interpreting the gender of a character.)

For periodicals
- All peer-reviewed academic journals devoted to transgender studies are suitable.
- If a print magazine for transgender people has an ISSN, it is suitable.

Ministry of Utmost Happiness
Arundhati Roy's The Ministry of Utmost Happiness has a hijra as one of its primary characters and merits inclusion in the list of fiction. Everybody got to be somewhere! (talk) 22:28, 1 May 2018 (UTC)
