Livre d'Or

Dia Reeves Slice of Cherry, tbh, or maybe even Scalzi's Lock In. Both feature protags with chronic illnesses as your PoV character and are handled well; both encourage the reader to think about race and language and how brains work and to treat people with illnesses as human. And yeah they're maybe YA, but... whatever? And Lock In features a protag who is never gendered, of course.
