gender-representation

This chapter consists primarily of editorial notes and meta-commentary regarding character gender representation and potential reader interpretations related to homophobia and heterophobia. The discussion centers on the implications of having predominantly female characters in the Vendacious species and how this affects the narrative's portrayal of social dynamics, particularly the distinction between 'trapper' and 'hunter' roles. Additionally, there is consideration of how these choices impact the depiction of 'The Blabber' and the broader social ecology within the story.
