I am SO not going to take the bait when it comes to responding to the firecracker that is the topic of trans ladies punching TERFs.

Except to say that I am not in favor of punching anyone.

Although it would be mighty difficult to refrain from punching Trump if I had the opportunity.

I now clap 50 times or not at all, in part because max clapping keeps me on a writer’s page for a few extra seconds — and thus increases the Read Time for that piece.

I am grateful that you clap for my work at all. I value you as a reader.
