Preparing questions
Based on my research, I created a questionnaire for the main character to help reveal the depth of the personality and its individuality through the prism of a non-binary person. The questions concerned the consciousness of the main character's choice, the support of loved ones for they choice, and the social acceptance of non-binary people. Another questionnaire was developed for family members. The pros and cons of their family member's public coming out were considered. The risks and stigma were outlined.
