Spot on. This is the clearest explanation I’ve seen. It ‘s relatable, and humanizes the issue in a way everyone can understand.

“Legal path to transition” might be one of the most violent anti-trans phrases I’ve ever heard.

It’s ridiculous that my wife might be denied spiro when my doctors’ attitudes toward my spiro has largely been “fill your pockets from the barrel in the hall”
The biggest mistake I see in discussions of trans people's healthcare is the idea that hormones and the like are some special service just for us when really all kinds of people access the same health care for all kinds of reasons but they are *withheld* from us because we are trans

I've been frustrated with other Mayan calendar converters for a while - they just give the date and none of the cultural detail, or all the detail is woo-y new age bullshit. So... I learned to code.

there is nothing in the world so on-the-nose as getting home from one's PhD graduation and immediately sitting down to file for unemployment.

If you think this can’t happen, remember that of the 125,000 Japanese Americans who were interned during WWII for years without charge or trial, two-thirds were U.S. citizens. Including me.
