as a former Evanstonian, this is some Evanston bullshit if I ever saw it

My parents had both a boy name and a girl name picked out for me, and they told me what the girl name was when I was a kid, so I just used that.

My parents were also a Republican and a centrist who disowned me when I came out as trans, which really doesn't help the case for those books

My parents read a lot of those for some reason. I remember my mom being very upset that she left Sarah Palin's book on a plane before she could finish it.

(and if you don't care one bit about college sports nonsense, you can always make a donation for Protect Trans Kids University)

If you're looking for a suggested donation:

When I worked there, I once drove past a convoy of Wienermobiles and the Planters peanut mobile on the way to work. That town loves its genital cars I guess

Madison folks can also try calling Mark Pocan (or Ron Johnson, though I assume he ignores anyone from Madison). And yes, I am calling my congresspeople every day as long as there's a new thing I'm mad about. pocan.house.gov/contact/offi...

It feels like victim-blaming to me. Like, why are they yelling at the trans woman in a horribly difficult position instead of the ghouls targeting her?
