      Noticing TERF detransitioners talking amongst themselves lately about how getting pregnant helped w their gender dysphoria. Which adds a new sinister layer to their resistance to young trans people getting blockers & their emphasis on "alternate treatments" for transness

      The author said "It was very important to me that there be a story where she ended up not-quite-cis and not-quite-a-woman" (in the novel she considered transitioning but settled on being a genderqueer butch lesbian)
