I am neither LGBT nor French, but I once saw someone on the internet say they pay very little attention to gender in gendered languages. "[For] example, I wouldn’t feel put-out in the least being referred to in the feminine gender in French, given that I am at least as female as any table I’ve ever met. ;)" /and he's seen men walk and talk as closely as they do without any sense of impropriety/ Adding "and women" would have made me happier. It seems that a lot of gay stories don't acknowledge lesbians, and vice versa. Neither of these are criticism; they're just things I thought of while reading this chapter. This is still one of the best fanfics I've ever read.
