The book GenderQueer came out in 2002, inventing the term we all now throw around like it's existed forever. It was, at the time, a breakthrough tome — and it's a travesty it wasn't easily available for so long.
Now, Riverdale Avenue Books is correcting that situation by reissuing the book. With its 30 first-person accounts of individual gender identity, it is — I'm sure — every bit as vital to the conversation today as it was in 2002.
One of its editors, Riki Wilchins, says:
In a grotesque injustice, a grand jury in Kentucky has indicted former officer Brett Hankison on three counts of wanton endangerment for shooting into the apartments of other people — but not for his role in the shooting death of Breonna Taylor.
He could get a max of 5 years per charge.
The two other officers involved, Jonathan Mattingly and Myles Cosgrove, were not charged.
Therefore, all the actions taken by the cops that led to Breonna Taylor's death are considered within the law.
It feels very much like the powers that be are attempting to stoke unrest in the weeks leading up to the election. Why else was this process so prolonged if not to have maximum impact?
Reminder: Kentucky's AG is a Black man — but a Black Republican man.
Following is a comprehensive list of the celebrated figures we've lost in 2020 — so far. The post will be updated throughout the year.
Each name is followed by the deceased figure's age at the time of death, birth and death dates, and a description.
Who did I miss?

Cindy McCain, after narrating a glowing video about her friend Joe Biden that aired during the DNC, has now explicitly endorsed him for president, crossing party lines.
