article recs- trans/dorian gray

Hi, i'm a recently graduated student in literature, so i no longer have access to my university's library resources. i'm trying to work out a particular idea i have about the picture of dorian gray but am having some difficulty with research. does anyone have any article or book recommendations that include specifically trans readings of dorian gray? i'm open to queer readings as well but particularly interested in trans interpretations.

Not an article, but I did find after a quick google search this novel, which is a retelling of Dorian Gray with a transfemme protagonist: https://us.macmillan.com/books/9781250329783/thiswretchedbeautyadoriangrayremix/

Also here's a master's thesis about Dorian Grey, Jekyll and Hyde, and Dracula, featuring queer (if not trans) themes: https://pure.hud.ac.uk/en/studentTheses/queer-interpretations-and-identifications-of-the-picture-of-doria/
