One of my favorite books is called Fierce Femmes and Notorious Liars by Kai Cheng Thom which is a book about trans existence being pushed into the edges of society. I cried multiple times - its beautiful and devastating and very well written.
Rainbow Black by Maggie Thrash was a book about a lesbian whose parents were sued during the Satanic Panic & it essentially ruined their lives & shattered the family. I personally view it as an individual perspective on class just because I know a lot of the Satanic Panic was a cultural manifestation of deindustrialization, most acutely felt in the Rust Belt.
I personally enjoyed Compound Fracture by Andrew Joseph White which is about a trans man in a small town in Appalachia whose family is in a blood feud with a sheriff's family when his like great great grandfather incited a miners rebellion & the sheriff publicly executed him. Class is pretty obvious in this one. The same author has a couple other books too which I enjoyed.
Thanks so much for the suggestions and (personal) descriptions. I will read all of them :)
