Exactly. There are a lot of things I'd like to see - like, um, everything you just mentioned - but you have to write what's in your head. There are a few characters in my own books I kind of wished were main characters, but they just... aren't. I have a trans male character in an upcoming trilogy who I'm starting to really love, but he's content being a side character. Maybe he'll be vocal enough to feature in a short story some day.

In addition, while I'm educating myself hardcore when it comes to writing PoC and other "Others", I'm not yet comfortable writing about an entirely foreign setting/culture without getting it severely wrong (as opposed to just a little wrong), so that's limiting as well. (For the record, I identify as white/female/cis/bi/disabled.)
