Man I was so disappointed with all that. At first I thought maybe people were overreacting and taking what was said out of context. It's obviously a deeply personal thing (gender and sexuality) for a lot of people, and as such is sometimes difficult to speak of. I figured the woman who wrote such a lovely whimsical novel wouldn't really be hateful. But holy shit did she double down! Just disappointing.

Some people make wonderful art and are hateful bitches.
