I'm in the process of writing the last of my articles in my series on foundational stuff, but I'm not quite finished.

In the interim, I'm going to talk about other stuff. In this case, the trial regarding marriage equality that's going on right now.

I'm in favor of marriage equality. One of the articles coming out soon will explain why that is, and some of the arguments used in the trial dovetail nicely with why I feel that way.

I'm also in favor of the approach being used by the team assembled to challenge this. I am not fond of some of the people who advise that team, though.

I am not, however, fond of the erasure of trans folk from the whole thing. Call me predictable, and read on to see why.
