TRANS RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS.
Just a cishet autistic white guy trying to listen to the world and be kind. I do DevOps for work, walk and photography for fun. I ask stupid questions, I know and I'm sorry.

Beautiful thread
On Sunday, we got back into the D&D game I run for daughter and two of her friends. Daughter’s friend 1 (DF1) has a play style best described as ‘impulsive’. In the game they are searching for an undead ogre mage and the three of them have cornered him in a ship’s cabin.

Friends who do MRT in the Dales and Lakes tell the same story.
