I've been going to a queer book club, and we're currently looking for books with trans characters to read next month.

Ideally we'd like a standalone book (not part of a series), and a story where trans identity is a significant part of it.

Thank you :)

Although it technically isn't explicitly about trans people, Terry Pratchett's Monstrous Regiment explores a lot of ground about repressive gender roles and norms, feminism and the arbitrariness of religious doctrine. It does all of this while being absolutely hilarious and a joy to read.

It's also technically part of a series, but like all Discworld books can absolutely be read as a standalone book.

Maybe not an absolute top pick due to not cleanly hitting all your requirements, but I'd still recommend it.
