"Don't Ask, Don't Tell" had only been signed into law a mere two years before the book was published, and would not be repealed due to finally being considered unnecessary for another ''fifteen.'' Cheri, a dwarf who dared to stray from what was "normal" for her species by being ''female'' rather than male like all other dwarves presented as, was supposed to be the dwarven version of a gay man struggling to come out to an unaccepting society, not a transwoman. However, [[ValuesResonance her story still works perfectly well when READ as being about trans issues]], which Pratchett was fully supportive of.
