  The Bilerico Project — Authority: 630
  I posted the other day about Maria Benita Santamaria, a transgender woman sent to prison after she was found with ten pounds of meth on her.

• Timetables: Trains, Gender, Empathy

  
  The Bilerico Project — Authority: 630
  Last Christmas, we decided to splurge and spend a few nights at a fancy beach resort. From the moment the clerk ushered us into the "VIP check-in room," I knew we were in for an adventure.

  The Bilerico Project — Authority: 630

  The Bilerico Project — Authority: 630
  As promised, I will now tackle the concept of gender. Previously, I talked about What is Trans .
