Frequently when I write fiction I feel like it’s very obvious that I was a gender women and sexuality studies major. I know it’s not, I know other people are not seeing the underlying theory that my thought process is built on. But it’s obvious to me, and sometimes it makes me self conscious, but mostly I think it’s very funny. I’m working on a thing about [redacted] right now, and there’s no way that anyone is going to read it and think, “Oh, yes, it’s obvious that the author was thinking about that one Butler essay with the line about going to Yale to be a lesbian the whole time,” even though that was echoing through my mind the whole time I was writing.
