Yeah, one of pedrodonaldson's stipulations in the prompt was a queer-friendly universe so there wouldn't be any angst related to that, and as soon as I started thinking about it, I was like, "Wow. Kyriarchy is sooo baked into basically every trope of a fairy tale." So I've been trying to strip out as much as possible, which is really hard. The class stuff especially is hard, because how do you have a prince without having a class system? The gender stuff was a little easier, as long as you don't think about the heir thing! HAHA. I may say more about that when I finish, but for now I'm not totally sure what might be a spoiler because I haven't finished writing yet XD For now, suffice it to say that I have put a lot of thought into this.
