Let's talk about Indigenous peoples on this Trans Day of Visibility, like Kauxuma Nupika (c.1780-1837), a Native AFAB Kutenai who divorced his Canadian husband, then transitioned to be male. As a trans Native, Nupika became both a warrior & prophet, predicting the arrival of settIers to Kutenai land

That King John signed to please his lords
But you don’t really care for law’s minutiae
It goes like this: “Your power’s checked

PR folks, please remember to grammar check your emails before you send them off, because while I know that English language grammar as we know it today is largely the result of hustlers preying on the status anxieties of Victorians, it doesn't help your clients when you make egregious flubs
