You took on such a huge task. You survived both trips but you got to return knowing who you are. So hard to get support sometimes.

Thank you for sharing your personal experience, as you stated it’s not easy for you to talk about it. Many people see the restroom dilemma as a much more minuscule problem than it actually is. Stories like these help those individuals understand the justified fears of the trans community.
@samuelmitchellgray21475 жыл бұрын
Ya know? I can sort of see how someone might think it's miniscule, but tell them that when they need to use the restroom and they aren't able to, for whatever reason.

You should probably take some psychedelics in the desert. Seems.... right.

something happened which unleashed the power of our imagination. We learned to talk and we learned to listen. Speech has allowed the communication of ideas, enabling human beings to work together to build the impossible. Mankind's greatest achievements have come about by talking, and its greatest failures by not talking. It doesn't have to be like this. Our greatest hopes could become reality in the future. With the technology at our disposal, the possibilities are unbounded. All we need to do is make sure we keep talking. Stephen Hawking

I can not for the life of me get that danged rack you gave me back on correctly after shoving my bike into a Honda from Eugene. Might hit a bike shop tomorrow.
