Author's Notes
Look, I wrote an entire story about how I think the ‘nature vs. nurture’ debates about sexuality are gross and reductive! I’ll believe there’s a large biological component to sexual attraction, but I know there’s also a lot that personal choice has to do with it. And I say this as a married lesbian on paper, but a sort of polywhateversexual in practice. I understand the point of concrete labels for identity formation and group solidarity (believe me), but I have also seen people’s perceptions of themselves get in the way of what they really want. (Bonus: I’ve had people who do science for a living tell me my science here was pretty good! Thanks, science fiction TV shows I stole it from!)
