I do think that memoirs by women are reviewed differently and considered somewhat outside of the canon.

I'm exposing faultlines, dealing especially with rhetoric. Showing that heterosexuality is a disease, or at least its inheritance.

I always remember my childhood as traumatic, for various reasons; I always felt alienated, outside.

It is only through having a stable loving partnership that I began to feel in control enough to attempt a strict writing discipline, to realize something I always knew was simmering underneath.

I think the key to writing the truth of our existences, so much of this is being incubated online, is examining the conflicts and the messiness, our sometimes dividedness, dealing with gender and other hierarchies, and also our identities outside of them, deeply personal and yet somehow critical and circumspect.

My writing has always been considered extremely important, even though I make slim-to-no money at it.

I don't think men experience the embargo on channeling the autobiography in their literature.
