ezs note: This one flabbergasted me. It seems very unlikely, but, after a while, it really does make sense. I'll leave a little space, so you can guess if you like. First the quote:

“You start thinking you can do the things he does—try to intimidate people, do outlandish things against them—and you won’t face consequences. He might not face consequences, but you’re going to. Everyone could become a kamikaze for him."

Roger Stone

ezs note: There are two things you can do to alleviate the problems transgender/intersex people have:

1) If you a doctor experienced with hormones, spend some time in Zambia;

2) Especially if you are planning a trip to Zambia, e-write or call the Ambassador. In the US, the Ambassador is Dr. Ngosa Simyakula. E-write a polite letter regarding the plight of transgender/intersex Zambians.
