Gender Neutral Emma in Space

There are so many other things I should be working on but the idea for this popped into my head, inspired by my worldbuilding idea where the society is ungendered by default and referring to someone's gender is like using a given name etc, something informal only done with people you know well.

I was thinking about what it would be like for a 19th century setting, which got me thinking about adapting a Jane Austen novel, and I decided Emma is the most gender neutral plot, since Emma's defining feature is her wealth not her gender. But regency England just makes no sense if you take out the sexism. So naturally IT'S IN SPACE. With artificial wombs etc, but still a super hierarchal space empire type society a la the Radch.

(You could also just straight up write Imperial Radch fanfic, but that is less appealing to me personally)

This also means I can steal bits of Chinese and Japanese name/language stuff and have POC around. And ROBOTS.
