I don't mind being accused of being political if I'd like to broaden representation a little bit, too.

THIS! I mean, I can only think of two trans* characters in anything I've read, ever (Robin Hobb's Fool and Sir Ystin from Demon Knights), for example. That's not fair.

My stories are not even remotely about LGBT issues, because I write in the fantasy genre, unless "help, I've fallen in love with the general of the of the invading army" suddenly counts as an LGBT issue if they're both women (I would say no).
