The pacing of Marlow's character development regarding the way she treats Taylor/her gender politics is kind of whack. Girl stops being a trans-exclusionist in a day... wish it were that easy irl. From glancing over some of the reviews it seems like this whole subplot flew over a lot of people's heads. Sometimes I wish I could live in ignorance and not know what the word "womyn" implies, especially in music circles (look up Michigan Womyn's Music Festival)... Nevertheless, I appreciate this comic's narrative criticising the dark side of the feminist music scene. Moral of the story: Being a TERF isn't punk.
