David copperfield for the narration style and the fact that it's bildungsroman, Mistborn because of the master/apprentice dynamic, and the something else is a person from the lead's past that tries to ruin things for her. I can't of any stories with that trope, though I know I've seen it before.

There are people with XY chromosomes who develop as female phenotypically despite being "male" genotypically. Beliefs should not dictate policy, especially those beliefs which are invoked to harm rather than help.

This is all worsened by the fact that this administration's stance on sex is not based upon science, but the administrations personal beliefs. There exist many permutations both in the human genotype and phenotype. There are people with XXY chromosomes.

I had much the same thought last night. That would hurt me more than anything though because On Writing is the single most important book for my development as a writer.

Hope is an innately human thing. While we should never look away from a bad situation because we don't want to see-optimism cannot be a mere refutation of the bad-it's no better to deny that our world and its people are beautiful. It is worth fighting for. You are worth saving. 9/9
