Can you elaborate on this, it’s possible I have useful suggestions
conveniently I was writing one of my patented “explaining what I actually meant by my previous post” posts that answers this exact question

believe me, merc, just because gendered adjectives aren’t a thing here it dosen’t make it easy to explain a relatively recent issue to a relatively igonorant audience while pretending to be from a more accepting time without it coming across as extremely weird

hmmm idk
a cheap shenanigan like reading a book about the past and being shocked at how harsh that time was?
there’s also the springhole chat
Does the viewpoint character already know the non-binary character, or are they meeting them for the first time?
Do you know any other media with how NB charas are apresented in an environment where they belong?
i guess I could have somebody explain it to my matriarchal fishpeople hypergenius traditionalist monarchist alien race?

i mean it is the classic trick
pull in a convenient outsider to explain a concept you need explaining as the insider explains it to the outsider

actual answer: the viewpoint character that my narrator is following most closely (due to the fact that the narrator’s father was the viewpoint character’s best friend) is already good friends with my new character

I think i’ll have an alien come in and then mansplain to them but I won’t like it
it’d be as abhorrent to me as if the plot twist was that the main character and the main villain are rElAtEd???

to answer your question, no, there will be absolutely no crazy hard left ideologies in this book, because it dosen’t match the Themes™ I have going here.
although yes, they do exist in the universe I have in mind
i’ll write one book before i start wititng the book where I introduce the Rational Redistributionists, a group who have a planet which is a slightly better USSR, except instead of arresting people and killing them they instead arrest people and deport them to the Anarcho-Capitalist Moon™ for twenty years
