I'm sympathetic to the author, she seems to be struggling. This seems true in her article to the Guardian (https://www.theguardian.com/society/2016/nov/27/family-relig...) :
"How have you felt since coming out? Have you had a lot of therapy? Not so much and most of it wasn’t so helpful. I’ve had therapists cry and hug me and it was really strange. They just don’t really know what to do with it. I mean, I still hide things. I still have nightmares, I can’t deal with crowds. I will always feel kind of separate. For a long time, I just didn’t really have friends. In high school, I had no idea how to talk to people. I didn’t understand cultural references. Ninety per cent of conversations are: “Hey, do you remember that episode of Seinfeld?” and shit. And I was weird, I was just awkward. I read everything I could get my hands on. It’s just what I did, I hid in books."
I think she's a good writer, but her own comments suggest her perspectives might not match most people's.
I hope she keeps writing and finds more peace in things around her.
