This one didn't really work for me. The world seemed very impractical. So, the main character could be whatever they liked... as long as they were some sort of artist?
I have struggled with making some big choices in my life, and personally, I am very thankful that my gender was not something I ever thought about as a choice. Especially in early teen years. I feel that I have great flexibility in how I live and present myself within my gender, but it is reassuring to have a foundation of unquestioned truths about myself.
