    My New Life After Transgender Despair0

    Last December, I received an early Christmas present that I would have rejected just one year earlier: an “M” for “male” on my driver’s license.

    My Kindergartner Was Told Trump Was Going to Kill ‘All the Girls in the U.S.’0

    Yesterday afternoon I received an email from the dean of my 5-year-old daughter’s school.
