Stewart has become a vocal advocate of the LGBTQ community within the industry, but she said her involvement on that front “never felt imposed.” “I never felt… I had to do something. I never struggled to get there. I just felt this cool opportunity to be able to communicate with people who had a hard time and aggressively oppressive things in their lives that had made it harder for them to be them.
“It’s my favorite bit of contemporary writing I ever read. processes the pain and experiences of having a body that’s so confrontationally and honestly true to the female experience,” Stewart said.
