As for the gender of gay fic authors... There are those (on all sides of the coin) who see the transgendered folks as the lowest on the totem pole. There are many of us who write gay fiction because, quite frankly, it's therapy. Where does that leave us when we use male names because that's who we ARE--yet no one sees beyond the outside?
There are times when even the writing isn't enough to help me through, and then there are times when I don't give a damn what anyone thinks, when I know who I am and I'll continue to write the one thing helps me be that person until science, medicine, and personal finances allow me to become that person physically.
