NAYRT - This makes me smile. I wonder if the author may have been asexual and bad at sex scenes or thinking of sex as an important plot point (cough, relatable). Maybe I get where OP comes from slightly better now.

AYRT--well, Prachett died (too soon!) in 2015, so we can't ask him about his sexuality, but his wife and daughter are still alive. I would guess he was cis, straight, and very white and British and not great at writing sex scenes. But he learned and grew and tried and changed and it definitely showed in his writing.

DA

I think it's just something he chose not to focus on in his writing. Not that he was opposed to it (there's certainly enough bawdy humor and innuendo everywhere) but it just didn't fit his style.

I just remember a year or so ago when TERFs tried to claim him, and his daughter Rhianna was just like OH FUCK NO. He wasn't perfect on this by any stretch but there are quite a few gender-nonconforming characters in Discworld and at least one definite canon trans man in Monstrous Regiment, all of whom are portrayed very sympathetically.

AYRT - Oh, that's fine then. I am ace and have trouble with attributing meaning to sex in my works myself (it's a learned ability, not something that happens automatically) so I was just wondering. Thanks!
