…R eading Trump’s Twitter rants is the best form of entertainment. You never know what he will say or who he will insult next. No one is safe from his social media-based shots.

Rather than a “real name,” I might just be in pos- session of a bunch of labels — some of which describe who I used to be, while others lay out my plans for the future. Since I came out as a trans woman, my legal name doesn’t match the name I call myself, which sometimes doesn’t match what I he...…
…M y eye problems started about five years ago. I remember the moment distinctly, actually. It was my sophomore year of high school and I was walking into sixth-period biol- ogy when I noticed something was off with my vision.
