The land grant university system, the research university innovation engine, the national lab system, America perfected these. They are as American as apple pie. We don’t have a king. These are America’s Crown Jewels.

Answering the "island question " (what would I do if alone on an island and had everything available) is what helped clarify to myself that I am actually transgender. If I didn't have to think about the reaction of others, the answer was remarkably simple.
