I went into Felix Ever After knowing I would want to write about a person like me, someone I had never before seen in books or in any media: A Black, queer, trans masculine person who identifies as a demiboy. I’ve seen trans masculine characters (though still very rare), I’ve seen queer characters (not as rare these days, but there could still be more), and I’ve certainly seen plenty of non-Black and especially white characters in stories before. Sometimes it’s a mixture of two of these identities, but never all at once.
