I really hear you about the first part of this: It's such a truly miserable thing to be reading a great essay or review thinking all the time to oneself "does this person think I should be allowed to exist as I am?" and the answer better than 75% of the time being "no." I'm glad to see you on here though, I've enjoyed your writing on great books!
Thank you! Yes, what's nice though is with the demise of twitter I just don't hear as many transphobic takes on a daily basis, so I'm less sensitive to it.
