hmm tumblr “for you” recommended me some screencaps of a bunch of people in the tlt subreddit ripping on a transfem person for asking in a very non aggressive way about why there’s not much explicit gender commentary in tlt… and chewing them out because “pyrrha exists” and “paul exists”… that’s a… that’s a no from me sorry

#biggest failure (maybe that’s a strong word?) or biggest wish it were better of this series is its approach to gender for me #compare to ann leckie. idk #no author is obligated to put gender commentary into their work and i don’t think muir was obligated #but #it’s ten THOUSAND years in the future and the PERSONIFICATION OF EARTH still sorts people into male and female one she can figure it out #‘once she can figure it out’ i mean per the narrative everyone in nona is ONLY a they until nona can distinguish if they’re a he or a she #and then they’re that thereafter #and not 1 single nonbinary person exists. it’s really bleak and i don’t blame people for commenting on it #full respect to anyone who genuinely feels represented by 2+ people in 1 body in a sci fi setting being called ‘they’#but can’t relate #self #negativity /#i guess. i don’t sit up at night and cry about it or anything #silas and harrow are nb to me so idgaf
