Agree with that last one! T is simply a very small part of who I am.

You just never see well written, rounded characters and that is probably why!

If jameela jamil isn't think enough for body-shamers, I think we can conclusively debunk the idea that what they say has any relationship to reality :(

"Stop treating LGBT as a genre, rather than a facet of some characters in a novel."

Of course but as human history has often proven you can't have the second if you didn't have the first one before. Label Characters generally first exist as Label Characters period because there wasn't any before in the first place (and often with very stereotypical traits, body-types,... instead of the full spectrum of humanity). Once you don't get one every blue moon there's space for them to become Characters with their own backgrounds, motives, etc. and not just diversity tokens or plot devices for "mainstream" characters.

Are there other things than abortion where one might restrict the type, location or size of a protest?

I can't wait till Elon Musk decides to add "telepathic" chip-implant controls for the cars!
