I will never let anyone framing transphobia as "the trans debate." go unchallenged and neither should you. The thing about debates is they start with a question, like "the trans question". Questions tend to demand solutions, usually final ones. We've seen this shit before.

I was on a tour of an old jail in Cork once. The tour guide said that a mathematician associated with the jail worked out an equation (or whatever they call it) to calculate the amount of rope needed to hang a man based on his weight and height. Does anyone know who he was or what this is?
