Emergence

I’ve been reading a few articles recently about Mike Penner, the L.A. Times sportswriter who changed his mind, apparently, about transitioning. Mike hasn’t offered any explanations, nor does he owe any to anyone — though, people are curious, naturally. I’m not going to speculate on what his reasons might be; we really must respect his right to privacy. But Mike isn’t the only person I’ve heard of who has pulled an abrupt U-turn in their transitional journey.

Isn’t it sort of akin to having the KKK do research studies on African Americans?
