A very important thread. When I was probably no more than 10, I saw this picture of the woman known as Harlow in the Philly Inquirer. A little babygay, I was shocked that such a glamour queen could live in my hometown and even more shocked to see her described as "a former man."

Yet every time invasives are mentioned, someone says "But it's all just nature."
They're *wrong*: invasive species are one of the worst HUMAN impacts.
