Speaking only for myself - it turns me off when ANYTHING is put through a PC checklist.
I have many women authors I enjoy. But I am turned off by efforts to "pick women, pick women of color" or "pick stories with certain PC promoted themes".
It almost NEVER brings for the best book. Bringing forth the best book might well come from a woman or a trans author or have gay characters. But not if having those external attributes be the criteria of selection.
