The Bay Area has made me feel the reality of inequality in a way that no other place ever has. It's dystopian. It's Victorian. It's a class society right out of a young adult novel.

The only places I've ever seen that had similar juxtapositions of abject poverty and glittering wealth were Thailand and China.

It's almost enough to make me become a communist, but...how would that help? Half of everyone here is already a communist, and it hasn't helped.

We talk a lot about touch deprived shiro but rarely about his other senses. For some reason I can’t stop thinking about Shiro burying his face in Keith’s hair or his neck because he smells musky and clean and so familiar it makes Shiro ache

And how Shiro would close his eyes at night unable to sleep because his bed is cold and sterile and empty.

He can’t shake the feeling that he’s chasing something he can’t catch.

It’s not until the next morning when Keith pulls him into an unexpected hug and he gets a whiff of Keith’s body wash and something inherently Keith that the tension melts from Shiro’s body.

Connor as a L///ush employee and Hank stumbling in one day after the recommendation from his friends, therapist AND teenage son that he should practice more self care. He thinks the gym, the cooking and the sleeping is enough. Connor sets him up for the best bath of his life.

Hank walks in and immediately is hit with all the mingling scents. It's not bad, just overwhelming and not entirely expected. There's so much for him to look at, he doesn't know where to start. He doesn't want to turn tail and run, he promised Cole he'd get something.

Lavender. Vanilla. Lemongrass. Bergamot. Sea salt. Tangerine. He rubs the back of his neck, knowing he looks out of place all awkward. The only other customer leaves the store after getting ringed up and that puts him slightly at ease. He can look like a bumbling old man in peace

So, I've waded through the Evangelical Alliance's new pastoral "guidelines" for interacting with trans people (ughh, the things I do to expose #transphobic #ciswits to the world), and let's just say it's time to tear this particular sh*t-bag a new hole.

So, straight off the bat, first page of text, the use of #language is . . . well, yeah, see for yourself:

"It is important to remember that transgender is not simply an issue to be debated;" - p5, #Transformed

*sigh*

When such language gets reinforced by insisting...
