This is a list of Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH) that can be used for trans and gender diverse resources. This section does not include headings established with free-floating or geographic subdivisions. The list was initially created as an appendix to Metadata Best Practices for Trans and Gender Diverse Resources by the Trans Metadata Collective. It is useful to consider these headings alongside the recommendations for their usage in the best practices document (especially section 3.1, Subject Headings & Authorities). Section 3.1 includes comments about some headings and, in some cases, advises avoiding others. There are also suggestions of combinations of headings that can be used when no appropriate heading exists.
The list was last updated July 16, 2024 and is current to List 4, 2024. The most current version of LCSH can be searched for free at Library of Congress Authorities or Library of Congress Linked Data Service
