I uh, volunteer at the school, and I have a little job there as a lunchroom supervisor. So I’m there constantly. And I love it. And uh, try to infiltrate the system with as much positive trans stuff as I possibly can. Fielding a lot of questions for, for Stella. And these two work at an office just down the road, together.

Alex: Uh the oldest are twelve.
Tara: Right.
Alex: And Stella just turned seven, and-
Darwin: I’m five!
