The Blood Child and humans role

Reading the story "Bloodchild", it first started out confusing with names and settings. But soon I got into the story and was still confused but understood the difficulties the main character has to go through in deciding that he would take the burden that his siblings didn't know about. I've felt before the struggle in experiencing making a tough decision that you just want to run away from. If reflected values that I've also seen in society. It's like it's hard to see a different species that isn't human. The story showed humans as the side characters rather than the main focus. I think humans role was seen as just objects rather than superior creatures. It was a first for me since society wants to be the dominate species. It goes right back to race, religion, sex, even extraterrestrials for them to be the ones to succeed and the unknown to falter. I wonder does society always like reading about their own species to relate to or separate themselves into other things that we don't know about. It was refreshing to read about a different sub group that others can't relate to since not all of things that are relatable the things people want to view themselves with.
