ezs note:  Fellow Connecticut residents - if your child is a victim of a bully, don't wait - show up at the next school board and raise holy hell to the members.  And show up at the next meeting.  And the next.  If your child is a bully, for God's sake, don't coddle em'.  Let them know that there are rules, and you EXPECT them to be carried out.

Well, this is a change of pace.  I'm not forgoing the trains; they are still an important piece.  But  I found out that Gov. J. B. Pritzker of Illinois stopped the "shielding" of various libraries.  Now, when we think of libraries, we don't automatically think of items of great importance.  But think of it - whether from Chicago or Prairie du Rocher, Illinoisans have an equal chance of information - including transgender folks.    And it's free!  Now from Bridgeport to Bridgewater, we have a chance to do the same.  If you live in Connecticut, urge your legislators to do likewise.  If you live outside of Connecticut, but have friends from Connecticut, urge them to join this fight.  Thanks.
