" The south has a knack for making you feel othered   if your even the slightest bit different. If your not white, the right kind of Christian, conservative, straight, and cisgender, you'll be a target."

I'm not in love with this article. It promised to open a door to a world that I knew nothing about, but I found the original source meandering and sort of impersonal. I read about 2/3 of the article and still felt I didn't know anything about what it's like to be a black transwoman in a southern college.
