It's one thing to sockpuppet, and honestly I can understand why an author would, especially a self/vanity-published author.

But.

It's a whole other thing to sockpuppet as a queer woman when you know very well that you've been accused, time and again, of misogyny and erasure of queer women. Even if he doesn't believe that those accusations have merit, it just boggles the mind that he doesn't take enough notice of them to think "maybe sockpuppeting as a bi lady is a bad idea."
