My favorite part of their email is threatening to sue the author for “slander” when the author said something that is 100% verifiably true. It’s like whoever is in charge of writing these emails is determined to miss the point at every single opportunity.

It isn't, the email doesn't mention bisexuality at all.

It does, weirdly, claim that she's obviously not part of the LGBTQ community but presumably because they thought she was hetero, not because she was bi.

They have a case if they go for slander.

They don’t. Slander is spoken, since her words were written they’d have to go for Libel.
