She's straight, but in her interview with Megan Murphy, she talks about how of all the demographics in this, she's particularly concerned about the gay kids, and feels very protective of them. She's a mum, so I think that's why.

That is really awesome to hear, I was going to ask if this book looked at all how these issues affect LGB people. Many GC books have been sorely lacking in sharing our perspective, and if they mention LGB at all, tend to only mention lesbians and from a radical feminist angle.

Helen Joyce points to attending a detrans meeting full of young detrans lesbians as the thing that most horrified her, and galvanized her from "I should write this book," to "I will write this book, I must."
