You know who you shouldn’t ask to know more about medical care for trans people?
Politicians who dump their childhood insecurities onto trans people and refuse to acknowledge they exist.

"it is already hard enough to be a kid, and government should not make it harder" It's okay to not understand people different than us. It's okay to feel confused. But when we lead with curiosity and meet the unknown with compassion, we can make choices based in love and not fear.

Latest Skagit River forecasts are just shocking. The NOAA model now has the river cresting 4-5 FEET over RECORD flood stages there at Monroe and Concrete. A minor saving grace is it seems the river is running a little behind the forecast curve but still :O #wawx
