Lucien Greaves on The Blandensburg Satanic Peace Cross She decided on something drastic: She would no longer be Isabel Fall. When she emerged from the hospital a few weeks later, the world had moved on, but she was still scarred by what had happened. Because there was little biographical information available about its author, the debate hinged on one question: Who was Isabel Fall? And that question ate her alive. The story - and especially its title, which co-opts a transphobic meme - had provoked days of contentious debate online within the science fiction community, the trans community, and the community of people who worry that cancel culture has run amok. In January 2020, not long after her short story “I Sexually Identify as an Attack Helicopter” was published in the online science fiction magazine Clarkesworld, Fall asked her editor to take the story down, and then checked into a psychiatric ward for thoughts of self-harm and suicide.
