Mostly Metal At This Point

What day of the week were you born on?

One of my first run-ins with explicit transphobia was at a medical office. I had been on hormones for three months and needed lab work. The same receptionist repeatedly denied me entry, refused to acknowledge the test orders my doctor had sent, and finally just told me that there was "nothing for me there" and that I should leave

once again. "transmasc equivalent" to some new transfem-oriented terminology or project. instead of focusing on the lived experiences of transmasculine people, instead focuses on directly countering the developing political salience of transfeminine people.

Indiana, like its adjoining neighbors, consumed 20 million acres of forestland before 1870 with only axes, grubbing hoes, horses, and oxen. Men carried the fallen trees on handspikes or rolled them into heaps in ravines, where they were set ablaze. In the first decades of the nineteenth century, thousands of fires burned night and day for months on end, turning the skies sallow. Before the conflagration, these forests had provided an unsurpassed hunting area that had drawn the Iroquois south and eastern villagers like the Delaware and Abenaki west to the Ohio River valley. The original 20 million acres of primeval forest that once covered Indiana was nearly enough to encircle the globe one and a quarter times in a mile-wide band. Today, scarcely enough old-growth forest remains to cover the Indianapolis Motor Speedway at the same one- mile width. Early Anglo-Americans did to this region what is presently occurring in the tropical forests of Brazil, Borneo, Sumatra, New Guinea, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
