lexi has always been intrigued by acts of dehumanisation. she often wonders why certain people are viewed as less than humans by other people, whether it is based on their sexuality or otherwise.
she discovers, eventually, that this is because people are afraid of what they don't understand, so in return they act like it doesn't exist.
ignorance is bliss after all, right?
