You realize that telling people they must be trans because of their presentation is just as bad as telling someone must be cis for the same reasons?

There is not a nation on the earth guilty of practices more shocking and bloody than are the people of the United States, at this very hour.”

"it would be so helpful," the researcher said, "if I typed 'lesbian' into the library of congress database, it would also show me results that were categorised in the 50s, when the materials were interpreted as 'intimate female friendships'"

wait. what do y'all set your home AC to? 78° F is our normal (and local officials exhort people to set it there regularly). if there are potential grid issues we raise it to 80°
