this book has
>> consensual touching in any form of relationship (platonic, romantic, etc): they always ask, no matter what, before proceeding
>> neopronoun positivity! several of the alien species have citizens that use neopronouns, and with the makvarians (a species of humanoids) there is even a biological third gender that can be chosen before/during puberty!!
>> romance, trans positivity, queer acceptance!!

will add more later if i remember!!
