Privilege


Artemis was privileged in every way: straight, white, not disabled, cisgender, male, and upper class.

Not so those he loved. Mother, Holly, Juliet and Minerva were all female. Butler and Juliet were Eurasian and working class. Holly was bisexual, and looked like a Black person with dwarfism to human eyes. Minerva and her girl wanted to get married but couldn't in France. Father was an amputee. Beckett was dyslexic. His sibling born Myles was now named Melissa. Foaly was a quadruped in a society built for bipeds.

It was their affection, not sociological privilege, he felt truly privileged to have.
