Good (bad) morning from UNC where I am, for the third time in 2 years, doing crisis advice/panic management w/ large numbers of grad student instructors who’re overwhelmed trying to figure out how to provide pastoral care & psych support for our students with no resources – at Chapel Hill, NC

I can’t believe the right wing media were wrong about trans womens’ breast milk, I wonder if there are other things about trans people that they say that are similarly untrue! 🤔
