A review by aliena_jackson
The Fixed Stars by Molly Wizenberg

1.0

I have never felt so ashamed of my attraction to butch women. The author is essentially "mansplaing" queer spaces, and the majority of people who are reading this are queer. She seems in denial of her queerness, almost refusing to name it and justifying her attraction by saying she's attracted to "hard women" I'm embarassed and ashamed of my attraction to women thanks to this book. I will never pick this up again. I'm going to go read a happy queer novel and try to forget this horrible memoir. (Also, her treatment of Ash and her continued refusal to stop referring to them as a women within her own thoughts and during the majority of the book- even after acknowledging their pronouns- is actually kind of gross.)
