I literally groaned when Reba started standing up to Anita. I was so happy to see it, but at the same time, I knew she would get smacked down for even daring not to worship the Doomcrotch. I had the exact same feeling. It's so disheartening when the characters you want to cheer for are always the ones you know will be defeated and humiliated.
but since her DNA still says male she was drawn to Anita as well and Reba was trying to snap her out of it by any means necessary Which reminds me of something I thought to myself last night: It was stated that Anita's call-all-males thing caused every unmated male tiger in the country to try to go to her. Every. Unmated. Male. Every single one. Meaning that either there are inexplicably no gay or asexual men among the weretigers, or Anita's male-calling overrides natural sexual orientation. Likewise, there's no mention of lesbians trying to come to her, so clearly it is just a gender thing that has nothing to do with whether the person being 'called' actually likes women or not. This would fit with Anita's need to bone even gay men (such as Byron) and LKH now making it so no one can complain if she bones a 'gay' weretiger now---"It's not that he's changing for her, really, it's just that her call all males thing did it!"
Not that I'm equating transgender women with gay men, just that the mention of where LGBT folks in general would fit in with this ridiculous mess made me remember that idea.
