FWIW, having listened a bit to Harrison (at Sirens!) about the backlash about this book: this is a true way that she sees things being. It isn't a portrayal of her own experience, but it is related to it, I gather. Without weighing relative things, one might suggest softening the post's final sentence, since there are always multiple ways of being $groupIdentity.

(The character validation aspect seems entirely separate. I haven't read anything of hers yet, though Rose Throne is on tbr somewhere.)
