So I was all set to continue this series when it was pointed out that it was fatphobic. That went over my head but when explained I totally see it. The main character for his desserts made by his partner that are all low fat for reasons we are not told. The recipes are included as well as what makes them "healthier". But the partner seems to have taken this upon himself to "help" EVERY WEEK. Now I assumed the MC asked for this but that's not stated. There may be some internalized  fatphobia. It doesn't help that the MC is very reserved and in the closet.

I also caught the transphobic moments, though I thought those were on purpose. There is a character that sees herself as an ally when she's just othering those of the lgbt+ communities. Her talking to a coworker who is not out about what she wants out of these "friendships" and how she sees certain people is awkward and off-putting. The MC is not 100% trying to correct her because he's so worried about being found out as gay. But he's also not trans so he doesn't know all that's inappropriate. Anyway, I feel like I'm making a lot of excuses. I will say this is pretty realistic unfortunately.
