    So State AGs are entirely involved in that.

      I teach at a middle school, and we can't effectively police the rest rooms (fear of sexual harassment complaints, for real), but we had lots of complaints of harassment against TG students. So we opened the faculty restrooms to them (only room for one each), took down the men/women signs, and replaced them with "Whichever" signs. I am very proud of my school, not so much for this action (it came too late, and we do need to police the restrooms somehow) but for our huge LGBTQ program, which makes it truly ok to be out, but we let he TG kids down for too long. We addressed it in the end though with a very assertive new principal who would not tolerate bigotry of any kind.

      My school has a lot of issues with transgender students. The teachers and faculty are amazing and are very supportive, but students, not so much. I’ve been sexually harassed and bullied for being trans, which is why I never use public restrooms. Many other trans people often have the same experience. Sexual harassment and verbal bullying is unfortunately very common and I was unaware that the way many treated trans people, especially trans women, was very inappropriate because I thought it was common. I’m glad I live in an area where adults believe in my rights, but I’ve yet to trust my classmates

    I don't get how Americans don't see that having election systems with no upper limit for funds will always result in biased and vested decision making because of private donors. If you're not going to limit how much funds a candidate can use at least make it legally obligated to publish a list of all donors. It seems utterly absurd to me that you have to put your trust and vote on a person for whom you have no idea, who's pocket he might be in.

I would also like to reference a "Fan Mail" that you mentioned on vol. 1 in the web exclusives section.
