I'm a "white passing" Hispanic. There is no material benefit, ever, from me declaring myself to be white. Applying to job? Applying to school? Always Hispanic. I've even had countless conversations turn around when I&#x2

Okay, so if we're talking about murdering people because they are trans, that is what I'm talking about as not allowing them to exist. So let's look at the data. 33 gender-non-conforming people killed in 2021, by August, whic

My revealed preference is that, due to the economic surplus produced by economic liberty, we have the luxury of being able to allocate resources to individuals in need. A luxury, mind you, in no way guaranteed by the conditions of nature.
