One day I am going to write an #OwnVoices book. And it’s going to have an agender protagonist who exclusively uses they/them pronouns. And it’s not going to be a big deal. It’s not going to be a coming out novel. It’s not going to be a novel about gender discovery.
That’s just who they are. They’ve already figured this out. Everyone else needs to catch up.
Then they get to go save the world and kiss a cute girl or smth.
I love the sound of this- I’d definitely read it! Go for it! :D
Love it, go for it! I’d read the heck out of it. I’ve got a nonbinary character in my book who is kickass, not finding themselves, and very comfortable with who they are. They’re one of my favorite characters, very dear to my heart.
I think representation of struggling is important, because it’s what a lot of people go through on their road to discovery, but I think it’s equally important to have strength representation. Representation of normalcy, representation that soothes the anxiety and creates a character people look up to and want to be.
