OpinionsThat Transexual Guy
“I want to share my transition. I want to write to you about public bathrooms, navigating my name change and taking hormones. I want to tell you about the scary parts, the fun times and share with you the celebrations that come along with transitioning.

OpinionsCritique of the Cops
I don’t really like the cops in this city. It’s not that I think they’re bad people. Or, as the various crusty, squat-dwelling, dumpster-diving activist types suggest, that they’re a bunch of racist, baby-killing sociopaths in uniform, hell-bent on destroying freedom, sunshine…
