Hmm, now that you mention it, I don’t specifically remember much about the main characters. They were all sort of ‘vehicles’ for the plot. Buuuuuuuut I do know there were ‘other’ perspectives, as in the one male-presenting protagonist who used a culture gun to blow up a ship in order to save his lover from the evil mafia/gang leader. Said lover was also definitely male.

Okay, shit. I just went and read the summary of the short story. The protagonist was a female-to-male, with a male lover. So congratulations on getting that wrong.
