Why problematic? James Tiptree Jr. was actually a woman, right?

Alice Bradley Sheldon.

Shouldn't she be a feminist hero?

Why not keep the name, or call it the Tiptree/Sheldon Award?

Or use her other pseudonym, Racoona Sheldon?

Great name.

I know that “Tiptree” was actually a woman. She’s being “erased” because of the accusation she murdered her husband / euthanized him.

Then again, liberals are tearing down feminists who don’t fit their social justice narratives. Even far-left female writers like JK Rowling are torn down once they violate a tenet of social justice.
