PS, I would ask you, whatever your real name is, to do us both a very big favour, and never, ever, EVER read my books again. Because I promise you, I'll be shoehorning a lot more political "agenders" into my work, just for people like you.
You muppet.

Okay, I usually don't respond to stuff like this, but I'm tired, it's been a long day, and this has managed to push my buttons.
So, quick thing about your comments.

Being gender fluid is not a mental imbalance. I'm not going to bother debating this with you because, my word, you are not worth the time it would take to do so. I doubt you'd understand anyway.

Also, as the uncle of an autistic niece, seeing "autistic" being used as a pejorative is really not going to endear me to you. In fact, it's going to have quite the opposite effect. It’s going to make me dislike you intensely.

So as much as I am generally loathe to criticise a reader, for you I will make this exception, and I can only hope that you get a few rays of sunshine into your nasty little worldview before too long.

And to finish, I would request that none of my other readers — the kind, the respectful, the loving, the accepting, the tolerant, the decent readers — bother to engage with you, as much as they would love to leap into an argument such as this.

Personally I try to stay out of these arguments but I think Never is a really cool character and Flannery gave us the best cliffhanger ever.
In other news, how's the latest book coming along? Personally I'm liking the new trilogy a lot and can't wait to see where it's all going.

I had SUCH a shitty day, hearing homophobic stuff from my family, and It just made my day to see you, one of my favorite writers, standing up for my community.
THANK YOU <333333333

As an autistic person I’m pretty sure I’m allowed to use the phrase. There’s nothing wrong with my world view I just don’t think an author should enforce their agenda on kids. People can tweet me all they like. But I’ll be sure to buy your books second hand dw

Thank you for this thread, Derek. And for 'shoehorning political agendas' into those books. It matters. :)

Has an issues with gender identity in a book. Literally dresses up as a character inspired from a show with ‘transvestite’ lead.
