Take Aways:

Gender ideology has had an impact on the arts and writing.

Taking particular positions and holding particular beliefs can be subject to harsh and unjust treatment in the arts.

This treatment can lead to extreme isolation, and difficulties in managing one's own mental health.

Finding support and community in the midst of a "hounding" is a crucial route to getting through it.

Humor can be a powerful tool in addressing serious topics that often have a social cost.
