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 Xenogenesis Series by Octavia E. Butler

Humanity nukes itself out of existence and a colony of 3 gendered aliens swoop in, rescue the surviving humans, repair the earth and in exchange want to combine their species. each book explores a generation of the pact. It's explores human nature, the nature of consent, gender and sexuality. Highly recommend it!
