This is great that it includes more people than the other loan programs, but it's still frustrating that none of these have any way for part-time people to qualify -- leaves out a lot of disabled folks, parents, etc. -- people we really need in the field.

Another day, another transphobic New York TImes article. Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria isn't real. There's no evidence of it. They've tried to find it. So now they've changed the definition of "Rapid" to 2-4 years.

@prntgdcolonized Also, “soft parenting” is a silly assertion. I’m not a soft parent. I actually expect quite a bit from my kids, but I expect things that are developmentally appropriate and I don’t use punitive measures to help them achieve those goals. There are consequences, but natural ones.
