And a coworker who insists on being a terf. But hey, God chose to make grapes and not wine, so, Birdie is certainly allowed to be a Trans Woman. And so, like, fine wine, Birdie will come out, literally she comes out, being the best of the best. But more importantly she'll be free to fly like all those birds in all those poems she read as a wee child. " Rate: $50/play.
