I need you cis people to understand this. Rachel Levine did everything right. Legal name change. Legal sex update. So professional and accomplished she got SENATE APPROVAL as an open trans woman.
There's nothing we can do that they won't ignore to hurt us. So don't let them.

People think this is about whether she helped RFK's campaign but it's really about whether she helped Trump's. She was helping her boyfriend (or whatever the fuck he was) get a role in the Trump administration while writing about the election.

If ALL viewers/readers/players anticipate the plot twist then you didn’t write a plot twist. You just wrote a predictable plot event.
A plot twist should be utterly inevitable “in hindsight” but build into the narrative in a way that you overlook or second guess it.

It just hit me; my current wallet has lasted longer than all my other ones combined. I bought it at a Hot Topic in late 2007/early 2008. And it's still good. A bit weathered, as one might expect, but nothing falls out or anything like that.
