-There are a lot of obvious and striking parallels betwen these two slice-of-life webcomics about unexpected sexual-minority roommmates keeping secrets from each other—even the titles match (two words, the first alluding to the roommate-drama setting, Closet/Lease, Space/Bound). I like both of them, and I think it's sad that the natural fan demographic of each probably mostly hates the other's guts. Gender-critical lesbians aren't going look sympathetically on the protagonists of _Closetspace_, and trans women aren't going to read _Lease Bound_, which portrays them as predatory bullies. The conflict is understandable, but the magnitude of it seems ... _unnecessary_; I think a _smarter_ world would be able to compile all the relevant facts and broker some sort of Pareto-efficient compromise that gets everyone _most_ of what they want.
