Up late doing some pretty depressing research.

Human beings can do such wonderful things.

We have created so much that improves life for all.

And yet... we also have *such* a history of doing harm, then rationalizing the harm we do with claims to upholding "sacred" traditions.

The history of things done to feminized bodies is truly the stuff of nightmares.

We've come a long way out of superstition in a *very* brief period of time.

And we're always closer to backsliding than we might think.
