I guess this isn't as idealistic as I initially thought. But I can't shake the feeling that Levithan is fighting for his own rights here, rather than for everybody's rights as he claims he is.

Seriously? You're gonna present a book as a celebration of equality and then misgender a trans woman? Guys, why do we let this guy write about politics? I'm willing to forgive Levithan overall, since Two Boys Kissing features a far more sympathetic portrayal of a trans character. But Jesus Christ, this has to be Levithan's very worst book.

Levithan has to be aware of how much he's preaching to the choir. He can't think this is actually going to convince anyone of anything, right?

So here's where Levithan puts that political science degree to use so that he can promote mainstream Liberalism in the most idealistic way possible! At least, that looks like that's where this is going. Eugh. I really do think David Levithan is one of the best authors in YA when he's at it's best, but he's more inconsistent than I'd like.
