Since there's obviously different interpretations, and most of the fun of the story is sharing them, I read parts of it as a plurality and fronting story.

The social pressure to not talk about plurality, and the pushback folks get when sharing their identity with people close to them[family] resemble the interactions the main character has with others. Questions of "who are they really?" and "who am I talking with right now?" present themselves in the story and I'd imagine in systems that don't have the best supportive environment.
