Ok, the usual suspects are frothing (despite having not read the book) that in WONDERLAND, my 17 year-old trans Alice has a sexual relationship.

The didn’t care about cis Lexi or Jana having sex in Clean or Meat Market so...what can we conclude?

A reminder that the age of consent for LGBTQ people was equalised in 2000.

If the notion of LGBTQ people having sex makes you feel icky, that’s entirely on you.

I will never apologise for exploring sexual relationships in my YA. I grew up with such anxiety around the birds and bees and I think that’s true of a lot of teenagers. It’s literally my job to explore the lives of teens.

From Judy Blume to Sally Rooney, our first loves define us for the rest of our lives.

Now kindly fuck off, you sad little people. Get a hobby that doesn’t involve posting hate online all day.
