Taylor Jenkins Reid is the author of several best-selling novels, including Evelyn Hugo’s Seven Hugo’s, Daisy Jones & The Six and Daisy Jones & The Malibu Rising, appearing as bisexual in an interview with Time magazine.

"It's sometimes hard to see people treat me as a straight man, but I don't tell them the whole story," the author told the Media in an interview published on May 15.

Reid's new novel Altsipere, released on June 3, said assumptions about her sexual behavior were nothing new to her. In fact, they started as a teenager and dressed differently from social norms, she said.

She told Time, I was hit quickly, 'Why can't you dress up more like a girl? Why don't you do nails? Why do you speak that way? Can't you be quieter? '" she told Time. "I started to attract people who would say, 'Oh, I understand why you dress like a boy- you're gay. '"

But, Reid said she didn't feel like she was labeled gay because she was attracted to two genders - her first love was a man, and then in her 20s, she fell in love with a woman. However, both liked and people wondered if this was right for her.

"It's the late 90s, so no one is talking about bisexuality. If so, that's to make fun of people," she said. "The information about bisexuality is that you just want to follow, or that's the stop on the way to Gaiville."

In her writings, Reid is not shy when portraying characters belonging to different points in the sexual spectrum.

In Daisy Jones & The Six, the main romance centers on a heterosexual triangle, while "Evelyn Hugo's Seven Hugo" details the love story between two women. Meanwhile, “Malibu Rising” shows a relationship that is mostly heterosexual, but one character experiences a queer awakening.

Her new book, Atmosphere, allows Reed to explore more of her appeal to women. The novel features a love story between a woman in outer space and a woman on Earth.

"It's time for me to write a dramatic love story that is very risky," she told Time.

While she may not always be open to the public about her sexuality, she tells Time that she is always honest with the people closest to her. Her husband, screenwriter Alex Jenkins Reid, even introduced her to the idea that describes someone’s sexual behavior as a house with many rooms.

“My attraction to women is the room where I am, and Alex understands (“atmosphere”) is about the time I spend in that room,” Reed said. “He was so excited for me, like ‘a great way to express this side to you.’ He helped me make the book as romantic and beautiful as possible.”

Reed also said she knew marriage to a man gave her "direct" privileges that other queer women did not receive.

"How do I talk about people who I really respect other people's life experiences?" she told Time. “Basically, where I fall is that I can talk about who I am and then people can think about everything they want.”
