Cis people can do this, too! I remember a defector mailbag where a guy was like “I’ve always gone by Andy, can I start going by Andrew instead?” Dog you can start going by Sasquatch if you want you’re a free man.

THREAD. Every year, I tell the story of Ezell Gilbert. It's the story of one of the most remarkable cases in U.S. history, and you’ve probably never heard of it. The story of what the U.S. government did to him is vital for understanding the current moment we are in.
