    I Wanna Be Your Girl comes to mind, although I have to admit it's still in my to-read list, so I can't personally vouch for its quality.

    EDIT:

    spoiler for this manga but it’ll save you some disappointment

    Sadly, I’ve learned that this isn’t yuri; the trans girl ends up being straight for some guy. So not the representation I, a transbian, was hoping for.

      iirc that's about a girl with a crush on a straight trans woman

        Ah, I was under the impression it was about a trans girl finding herself and her cis friend falling for her (and vice verse). Sad if it's just unrequited love on one side.

          i remember it being good but the cis girl falls for her as the trans girl is in love with a man

            Damn, looked up some reviews and you’re absolutely right. So it’s probably still a nice read for a straight or bi transfem wanting representation, but fuck us transbians, I guess.

              yeah. i did realize i forgot wandering son, the main character of which is a transbian, and a 2 chapter thing in mermaid line, but there's not much in the space sadly

              (unjust depths is a good communist webnovel that's like 70% transbians (possibly more, characters are newly revealed as trans like every chapter) and i can't recommend it enough. not a yuri manga, but it's heavily inspired by similar genre spaces)

              ~also we need to fix the dropdown thing, i shouldn't need to surround every individual word with tildes when i'm trying to not be obnoxious when recommending unjust depths for the 10th time in a week~

                Could always spoiler it instead? Which works for me both on the hexbear web interface and the mobile lemmy app I'm using. e.g.,
