WHAT "POST GENDER" IS NOT.... A "cancel culture" of "social justice warriors" fighting "The Struggle" to topple "The Patriarchy," in a battle against "white colonial oppression." NO, "POST GENDER" FICTION IS NOT PART OF "THE STRUGGLE." These books don't question school children about gender pronouns. Instead, a soldier falls in love with a webcam stripper. Sergeant Lori Lewis defines courage and determination. December Carrera represents youth and devotion. Their son, Riley, shows them parenting is life's greatest gift. "POST GENDER" fiction will not reduce these characters from love, marriage and family with pronouns. Why should gender EVER matter? Some readers won't like that women fall in love. Social justice warriors will be furious Lori and December aren't part of The Struggle. So I'll leave it to an exchange in book five between Riley and a character with a thick Irish accent.... DRIVER: “My daw’tuh married a smart and pretty Catholic girl.... They’uh happy being dull…. Making good money…. They go to Church tuh’geth’uh…. Francis approves.” RILEY: “But isn’t someone mad?” DRIVER: “I don’t care if anyone is mad... because my family is, uh, tired of, uh, talking about gen’duh.”
