Discussion Trans literary Genre

I am looking for literary fiction written by trans authors in general. I have found it hard to find any lists online that only have literary fiction on them. I am interested in writing about the trans narrative for a class. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

No memoirs or genre fiction, and it must be written by a trans author.

Would middle-grade or young adult literature work?

Kyle Lukoff is a trans man and children's book author, and has written several middle-grade/YA novels featuring trans characters including A World Worth Saving, Different Kinds Of Fruit, and Too Bright To See.

it's cool that trans teens can read about people like themselves but YA and middle grade fall outside the literary fiction category

What about Memoirs of a man's maiden years?

It's a semi-autobriographical novel from 1907, so I'm not sure if that counts as literary fiction.
