==Conception and influences==
Tarttelin has described how she explores intersex to look at gender roles, expressing the view that, "I don't particularly think men and women are very different".〔(Meet Max, 16, a Golden Boy and intersex ), GayStarNews, 31 May 2013〕 In discussion with Interview Magazine, Tarttelin comments that gender is arbitrary, but "a lot of it is socially constructed". She is concerned that some mainstream analysis of trans children exhibits a narrow world view and limited expectations of gender roles. Nevertheless, she argues that gender determines "whether you are physically intimidating vs. being physically intimidated".〔(Abigail Tarttelin's Golden Age ), Lianne Stokes Interview Magazine, 2013〕 Interviewed at Goodreads, Tarttelin says, "I could explore gender through the eyes of someone who had no need to define themselves as either male or female, but was pressured to do so by their family and community". She deliberately placed her protagonist within an "'average' community and a loving family", saying, "I often feel characters with alternative genders and sexualities are treated as outsiders in art, when in fact they are us, and they belong inside our communities. I wanted Golden Boy to take place in a town that readers could see as their own town".〔(Abigail Tarttelin and Golden Boy ), Goodreads, April 29, 2013.〕
Tarttelin describes Lianne Simon's ''Confessions of a Teenage Hermaphrodite'', and discussions with gender fluid people on Tumblr, as important influences.〔
