I donated to her because:
1) She’s willing to throw a punch
2) She’s not throwing trans people under the bus
3) She’s too young to remember Vietnam

It drives home how much passing is really a proxy for safety: I don’t mind being clocked in SF, because I know it’s not likely to end in an assault. The same can’t be said when I’m bouncing around my hometown, where I feel safest when I’m unnoticable.

I live in SF. There are advantages and disadvantages to that. One thing I learned after FFS is that, despite my size, I pass pretty consistently when I travel. The same is not true in SF, where us trans folk are such a common sight that pretty much anyone can pick us out of crowd.

Basic models of flocking behavior are controlled by three simple rules: 1) separation: avoid crowding neighbours (short range repulsion); 2) alignment: steer towards average heading of neighbors; 3) cohesion: steer towards average position of neighbors (long range attraction). With these three simple rules, the flock moves in an extremely realistic way.
