OP, i know that feel, bro.

i found that after a year of writing only male characters, my female characters suffered as a result. they were all cariactures, cardboard cutouts, plot devices, and completely devoid of personality.

and it made me so upset and saddened to think that even though I was female, i could no longer relate to or write about my own gender.

turned out there was a lot of internalized sexism i'd been harbouring that was affecting my writing. so tried to deal with that.

i also conducted an experiment. i took every single one of my main characters and genderswapped them. and now, they are so much more well-developed as a result, and i can finally write female characters again.

i truly hope that you will be able to overcome this, too, OP. you can do it! :)
