Recommendation lists focusing on specific identities

Here’s some recommendation lists for books featuring specific identities! Please note, I have not read some of these and am listing them under the identities I believe to be represented. If you think I’ve put a book on the wrong list, please let me know and I’ll correct it!

(Another note… some of these lists are definitely longer than others. In some cases it’s because I can’t find other books to include (i.e., aroace) and in some cases it’s because I don’t read a lot of that identity (i.e., mlm). Again, if you have suggestions to beef up some of my shorter lists, please let me know!)
