The other day, I told my partner the story of how everything changed in 5th grade, how I was exiled from the friend group for being a dictator... Read more of "Wounds of Gold" by Victoria Derr Valencia in The B'K Mag, Vol 16, Issue 3: www.talbot-heindl.com/bitchin_kitsch

This is the only way this "story" should be reported. I have to amend my bias and concede that it isn't just white people who weaponize their faux "fear." But it is shameful that a Black man would do so, considering how much he's probably experienced it from white people himself.

Be trans; do crime. Regardless of which 6th grade level of understanding of gender and sex exists in the White House, and what laws they create to try and enforce their beliefs, I have always and will always exist and thrive outside the gender binary. #BeTransDoCrime

In the background is the trans flag gradient. In the mid-ground it says "Be trans; do crime.

In the foreground is a professional photo of Chris.

Hiked with two of Dana's sisters and their partners up in Boulder at the National Center for Atmospheric Research Trail. Had to share this because we are cute with our new haircuts. All snazzy and whatnot.
