Making a 🧵to pin: I am just a little guy. I survived gender conversion therapy at 17, almost 40 years ago, it took me until recently to be able to say "I'm not a woman" without getting extremely nauseous, and I am crying thinking that they keep doing it to every generation of us. Just let us be.

Anyone remember 'lil Jurg Frey? Such innocent times.

The town of Swannanoa is a mess after Helene. Some businesses may never reopen — including the only grocery store. "Swannanoa is a food desert," says the head of a nonprofit that brings in fresh food.
