The Letter My Father Never Sent
THE SECRET HE KEPT FOR FIFTY YEARS đ€ My father Robert lived seventy-two years as a straight married man, a retired electrician with four children and eleven grandchildren and a reputation in our small Pennsylvania town as a dependable, traditional, no-nonsense guy who went to church on Sundays and coached Little League and voted Republican and embodied every characteristic associated with conventional American masculinity, and none of us, not his children, not his friends, not even my mother who was married to him for forty-seven years before she died, knew that our father had been hiding a fundamental truth about himself for his entire adult life, a truth that he revealed to us six months after my mother's funeral in a letter he had written decades earlier but had never intended to send, a letter that began "I have been lying to everyone I love for fifty years and I cannot die with this lie still inside me" đ

Alive
The shocking true story of Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571 and the moral horror that saved sixteen lives The crash of Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571 into the Andes Mountains on October 13, 1972, and the subsequent seventy-two-day survival ordeal of the passengers would become one of the most controversial and morally complex survival stories ever recorded, forcing sixteen young men to make the unthinkable decision to consume the flesh of their dead friends and teammates in order to stay alive in one of the most hostile environments on Earth, and the psychological and ethical dimensions of their choice continue to provoke debate and reflection more than fifty years after their rescue shocked the world. The flight was carrying forty-five people including nineteen members of the Old Christians Club rugby team from Montevideo, Uruguay, along with their friends and family members, traveling to Chile for a tournament, and the passengers were young, healthy, optimistic people with their whole lives ahead of them, many of them students from wealthy families who had never experienced real hardship and who could not have imagined that their routine flight would turn into a nightmare of freezing temperatures, starvation, and impossible moral choices that would haunt them forever.

While both fall under the non-binary umbrella, they describe different ways of experiencing gender.

Do Transgender Men Have Periodsâ
The relationship between transgender men and menstruation is a topic that touches on biology, identity, and personal experience in deeply meaningful ways. For many, the answer isn't as simple as a yes or no it's a nuanced reality that varies from person to person based on individual circumstances, medical transitions, and personal choices.
