The author was Linda Nagata who I highly recommend, especially her Nanotech Succession series.
I enjoyed this novella very much after reading it on the recommendation of an author I really enjoy. Hard to categorize this since it blends elements science fictional, fantastical and even epical hero's journey. I can't pin down exactly why but it reminds me of John Brunner's Compleat Traveller in Black in very good ways.

But what is the true cost of those long lives, especially for everyone who isn't a cis male? Please see the content warnings.
