So whiteness is not actually producing the kind of security and the society. And think about it from the perspective also of working class and poor white Southerners who do have a legitimate bone to pick with the society about how hard working they have been and not actually reaping, in many ways what has been called the wages of whiteness. And trying to be in that moment fully and actually think about it. So there’s all this physical vulnerability and now he’s driving around doing ride sharing and our relative positions, and he is of a generation where the odds are good that there was an ideology, like a deep ideology of white supremacy, and he is in many ways in a position, more vulnerable than I am at the moment. And I was thinking, and knowing from people who I’m close to the physical impact of working in the mines. Like so to think about if I take a man who drove me in a Lyft to my auntie’s house who had been working, an elderly white man who had told me he worked in the mines for 30 years. I wanted to actually have encounters that try to move through that information with more delicacy than I certainly do in my sort of more conventional academic work.

But I hadn’t realized how much there is specifically for those who don’t fit gender norms. I knew that the Bible does not speak against being transgender. I’m not going to repeat every argument why it is not biblical to reject transgender people or to require that gender dysphoria is the one medical condition that should not receive medical treatment of any kind. He talks about the good it does transgender people when their churches accept them – but also the good it brings to churches when they embrace their transgender members. He brings in the voices of many other transgender people. This book is written by a transgender pastor. At the same time, I’ve read happy stories of what happens when people transition with love and acceptance from their faith communities. I’ve heard many sad stories of what happens when a church family rejects a transgender person and the harm it causes their entire families. I’m also in a Facebook group for mothers of transgender children. I've seen for myself this isn't some kind of delusional temporary whim. My own oldest child is a transgender woman. I picked this book up from the library, and the very next day was glad I did, having a reason to defend transgender people to some well-meaning Christian friends.

As winter comes and the Happy Prince is stripped of all of his beauty, his lead heart breaks when the swallow dies as a result of his selfless deeds and severe cold. Viewing various scenes of people suffering in poverty from his tall monument, the Happy Prince asks the swallow to take the ruby from his hilt, the sapphires from his eyes, and the gold leaf covering his body to give to the poor. In a town full of suffering poor people, a swallow who was left behind after his flock flew off to Egypt for the winter meets the statue of the late "Happy Prince," who has never experienced true sorrow, for he lived in a palace where sorrow was not allowed to enter.

It’s got a few secret passages and Malcolm, the big Scot that keeps bar, lets us know if anything’s amok. I went through the big room to the small room Tuck keeps for Rob. The lasses pushed through the lot, using a smile or slap as needed to get their own way. It were heaving with bodies, laughs, and mugs slinging ’bout. I slipped in the door and moved quiet past Tuck, the innkeep, and went into the barroom. It were rough, but none here would turn me out for being a thief and a liar. It were too hot and stank of beer and men, and I smiled. I opened the door to Friar Tuck’s and the air fair slapped me ’cross the face. Like, when you walk through a room full of big men drunk off their skulls, it ain’t so bad to be ignored. No one ever takes me for more than a knockabout lad, a whip of a boy.
