This month's story is a deeply upsetting exploration of the slippery slope, and the laws of unintended consequences. Because it touches on current events which some people may not want to find in their fiction, I've also re-posted "Face Your Furs," which has somehow become the lighter offering. How...?
CW for Slipping: Transphobia, weaponized political language, child abuse both accused and actualized through neglect, family separation, homophobia, death.
CW for Face Your Furs: Big corporations are not your friends, body horror, nanotech gone horribly wrong.
I think it's time to go back to either Tybalt or Buckley for next month, to try and break up the horror a little bit. Opinions?

Nobody remembers a time when "think of the children" meant "take care of your fellow human beings"; it's never meant anything other than "I want to frame even considering disagreeing with me as deeply and fundamentally immoral."
I think guns should be regulated, but I don't see the connection between that and transphobia, other than the political connection. If we go there - those people are unlikely to ban youth sports, or approve a strict healthy diet. Logic has never been their strong suit - they think people should be free to carry guns, but not to have control over their own bodies.
