If I were Candy and I were being blamed for trans teens' suicidality and condemned by the Worcester branch of the NAACP, I would simply never show my face in public again. The speakers last week were brutal (in a good way), yet she still doesn't get the message.

Thanks for offering us rewards if we get our friends to sign up, but to me, the person signing up and supporting you is all the reward I need. I want you to be doing this forever. Your hard work, intelligence and way with words are top-notch, and that is over and above the level and volume of information you are providing to the readers. It's awesome and I learn so much. My drives around town are also made tolerable by your podcasts. I hope to meet you (and Chris) one of these days. Maybe Tuesday night; I'm bringing my family and will be on the lookout.

It was so good to meet you last night! My son, a new voter (who is just starting to learn about all this up close & personal participatory democracy stuff), was extremely encouraged by what he saw and heard from all the speakers. He was very fired up by the time we left, and I hope he now sees a path forward for himself to eventually get involved on behalf of himself and others. And I would not have been motivated to attend had it not been for your reporting. You are making a multi-generational difference.
