• This story is about a boy in a costume as a princess finding it harder than he thought to walk in high heels with long skirts. The author places this firmly in the gender-bending category (as opposed to the trans category) by writing that “when you wear a costume, the whole point is that you become someone different” which some reviewers worried discounted any personal, gender exploration.
