I can't believe you conned him into saying rocks are almost always better than sticks 😭
like I know it was probably just a figure of speech, but from the perspective of the history of humanity, sticks are clearly and obviously better than rocks

This Emily St. James one? It's the one I remember too-- I haven't reread it recently, but I came away with the impression that she was going to write under another name in the future. I certainly hope she does.
A sci-fi writer got meta about gender. The internet responded by ruining her life.
Isabel Fall’s sci-fi story “I Sexually Identify as an Attack Helicopter” drew the ire of the internet. A year later, she’s still picking through the wreckage.

I know she's not writing under the Isabel Fall name anymore, but do you have specific information that she detransitioned and stopped writing under any name? That wasn't my impression of the situation.
