Am I writing responsibly? Is this book saying/doing anything good? Who's relationship with gender/sex am I leaving out? Am I minimizing the importance and impact of gender by demonstrating it's a highly flexible, socially constructed aspect of a capitalist system?
Is sex and gender REALLY separate? I think so. Women and Gender Studies scholarship seems to mostly think so. I think Biological Determinism is an overly simplistic theory, and you would think that science would understand the danger of over-simplifying something. Bad things happen. Am I oversimplifying gender and sex?
I'm writing to parallel the development of gender throughout time, but I'm inserting gender experiences that I'm familiar with. Is Tuileach performing their role effectively, and representing people beyond the gender binary? Are non-binary experiences being respectfully captured in Tuileach's story?
This brings me to my second round of questions. Are my characters likeable? Will the reader connect with them and become emotionally involved with their fate? Will readers connect with Ide 264 the same way then connect with Ide the First? Will they understand that it's the same character, just in a different situation?
