This feels a bit self-aggrandizing (something I hate about this entire genre of memoir), but I think it has some very interesting insider information.
I think the saddest confirmation is that they don't do this out of hate, but out of greed and opportunism. Hate and love both from caring a lot—you can change someone's opinion about something, but it's nigh impossible to convince someone to stop doing something that benefits them just because it hurts someone they don't care about.
because it hurts someone they don’t care about. RIGHT?? I live in the deep rural south and its so obvious to me none of these people have ever even met a trans person. To them trans folk might as...

I cant bring this up unless I really know someone and they want to hear me out and my litmus test for that is they ask the question “then why have I never met a trans person” and its because they...

The first trans person I met as an adult was when I was 28ish and I remember having to hold myself back because of the friends I had before who didn’t make it because all the adults had convinced them that they were abominations. The person I met was from the north and they made it and they were happy and I just couldn’t believe that was actually possible.

A little self-aggrandizing, but given the obvious impasse between the subject's identity and the administration's position on Trans involvement in the forces (and by extension, intelligence services) the story felt like a great way to shine a light on what's happening in the US right now.

This is what people react to in George W Bush when they consider him "harmless" in comparison to Trump, it's not so much that they're ignoring the wars or the horrible policies or anything, it's that he could still shake your hand or read a book to a kid or whatever.

They’ve met trans people. They just don’t realize it.
Hahahaha thats true one of my fav things to do is show them pics if trans men cause they pass so quickly and easily
I suppose there are more trans people not transitioned or transitioning yet which they've met.

I dunno, I’m sure that’s most of it but I’ve met enough people who were spurned and exiled by their own parents to think there’s more to it than that.

I really did not expect Pence of all people to come out looking so good in this story
