The Victims: An Article of Awareness 

Elizabeth “Eth” Hyman  Staff Writer Before I begin, welcome back to campus, all.

Gender on the Backburner 

“Eth” Hyman Staff Writer I find myself getting so tired of writing about being trans. Like, wildly tired. Fatigued, even. Actually, “trans” may not even be the right terminology anymore.
