 didn‘t care before, but I avoid entertainment media that tries to push a message instead of pleasing the customer. So for recent literature female lead is a tiny red flag, lesbian a big one and transgender a definite no no.

 btw.: matrix - great transgender story from a time when creators still had respect for their audience

 Same, if you haven't read Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson, I'd give it a shot, great female lead, with little to no agenda. All his female characters are good, actually strong and feminine, which so many authors can't seem to do.
