One of the things about historical research is you encounter the fact that children used to die at heart-breaking rates. The cemeteries are full of tombs with zero to eleven year life spans. The correspondence mentions child death on a regular basis.

Children died often.

"If a woman doesn't look woman enough to a Republican, they want to be able to inspect your genitals to use a bathroom? It's disgusting.

Everyone should reject it completely... they're endangering women, they're endangering girls of all kind, and everyone should reject it. It's gross." - AOC

3) a member of the LGBTQIA+ community (broadly construed),

take a few minutes to do Emily Duggan's MA thesis survey on the social meanings of queer identity terms! (shared on her request)

A flyer with a pastel rainbow background and a small progress pride flag in each corner. At the top, in large white letters with a pink border, it says Call for LGBTQIA+ Survey Participants! The body of the flyer says, If you meet the following requirements, please consider taking my five minute survey on queer identity terms. No identifying information will be collected, and your responses will inform my MA thesis research in language, gender, and sexuality at Michigan State University. You must be 18 +, a native speaker of American English, and identify as a member of the LGBTQIA+ community! Scan here or visit this link to take the survey!
