I really want people to understand that this is just as awful and upsetting and invasive for a trans girl as it would be for a cis girl under the same scrutiny. Because when it happens to cis girls/women people get upset, but when it’s an actual trans girl somehow it’s “complicated.” It’s not.

The college isn’t a big presence tho. I worked there for four years. It’s really more of a town with a college in it. Still, they’ve got a lot of trees, and word is 10-20% of them are down in the northern parts of the city.

This is a before and after picture of Chimney Rock, NC, a/b 30 min. away. The ENTIRE TOWN was washed into the valley below. It is my understanding that this is the worst storm to hit Western NC ever.
