Thank you for writing this Oliver. For you, and anyone else reading this, I strongly suggest getting a Real ID before the enforcement period begins in early May. As a trans woman with a passport in my correct name and gender good through 2034, I no longer trust that it will be accepted as legal ID by the Federal Government. I’m in Illinois and just yesterday I took the weird step of taking the Real ID off my driver’s license and applying for a new state ID card with Real ID. This should extend my legal ID with Real ID for an extra two years, into November 2029. This will likely get me flagged by homeland security, but I was likely already on that list anyway.
Grateful to you for being you and for writing about your experience. ❤️
I loved Frighten the Horses, and I'm really glad I decided to listen to the audiobook. I don't typically choose an audiobook over reading text, but knowing you voiced it made me opt for the audio and your reading is fantastic.
I just came across and reposted that Jane Fonda moment and right after you posted this. Sometimes, the algorithm doesn't just keep us in echo-chambers but helps us connect. The emotional journey you described in your book and another shade of it described in this article are so deeply relatable.
I just ordered your book after reading the sample which I loved.

I'm so glad you enjoyed it, Seneca! I hope you're staying safe over there. x
Thank you for continuing to write and speak up.

I feel so much the same.
