Protagonist/narrator of ambiguous gender
What do you all think of this? I was writing a story and got a couple of pages in when it occurred to me that I had not given any indication of the narrator being of a specific gender. I think I envision them as female but the more I go, the more I like the idea of not specifying. It's not going to be a terribly long story and is in the first person, and I'm sorta interested in how well this could turn out.
Has anyone else done this? (For what it's worth, the story is being written for a call for submissions for a themed anthology by a glbtq-focused publisher.)
