I’ve received a lot of Chat GPT et al. generated documents in my deal work. My observation is that I’m seeing less critical thinking and more selective thinking. No questioning of assumptions or creative solutions. Mostly reinforcement of what the user already thinks.

I know several trans people.
Two were able to transition in their teens.
Others as adults.
Not one came to the decision easily.
I saw that living in the body which reflected their identity was both affirming and crucial.
Nobody goes through what they went through on a whim

When I heard the mom of a trans girl say the night her daughter came out to her was the first time she'd ever seen her child happy, I knew it was a story I needed to share.

Sometimes I pick up a book and in the first few pages I get that sinking feeling that I will not connect with it. But, dear Reader, I’m so glad I kept going, because the tale that the woman who will be known as Véronique Bangoura narrates is enthralling.

Speaking to activists and changemakers in this forthcoming collection, Solnit’s argument is: The way to the place you want to be isn’t always as clearly marked or straightforward as you may think. Nor does it always end up where you had hoped to get.

So someone asked me to retell the story of the old lady that told me about killing her husband. Are we ready for a trip back in time to 1999? Some of you already know this story, but if you don't it is a wild ride. Apply all appropriate trigger warnings!
