Anyone know of any sci-fi fiction with interesting takes on gender/sexuality/biology? (lemmy.ca)

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?

The Stars are Legion. This one is all about organic technology, with a twist that I don't want to spoil. However, it's a purely female civilization (necessarily lesbian, from our perspective). And the whole thing could be described as "dripping".

I'm a cis-het male. While reading the book, I was dreaming about being pregnant with weird things, like kittens. It fucks with your mind! Excellent book.
