Seventeen years ago, on the second floor of Paul VI Catholic High School during second period English my senior year, I rushed to the window and looked east down Lee Highway to see if there was smoke along the horizon from the Pentagon as my teacher turned on the TV.

Y'all hit me on "transgenderism." /2
