When I wrote a piece for Outsports about horses and gender, I didn’t expect it to generate much reaction outside of a few queer folks who love animals as much as I do. I wrote it from the perspective of a trans man who had come out in college, with a horse by my side who offered comfort, not confusion. I wanted to explore how nonhuman animals don’t ask you to prove your gender, and how that contrasts sharply with the world of human sports.

When I came out as trans, a lot of people started treating me differently. Some drifted away quietly. Others asked invasive questions or made jokes that weren’t really jokes. Even people I loved, people I thought would always see me for who I was, suddenly didn’t. But one never flinched: my horse. I had my horse with me at college when I came out. Every morning I walked into the barn, and he still whinnied when he saw me.

Recovering from 2 brain surgeries in past week, listening to @MLB eyes closed at night after 60 years as a Brooklyn little leaguer, announcer, umpire, now older man wheelchair bound- who cares? So much enjoying love, energy, enthusiasm of MLB broadcasters; keeping me at plate. https://t.co/fbQn4BSvXa
RT @SFGN: LOCAL: Last week @normkent underwent brain surgery to remove a benign, but aggressive, tumor, that was growing. https://t.co/Jg6…

Terribly sad to hear of the passing of John Stearns. We did not expect him to be able to travel to Old Timers Day but he was insistent. He wanted to see his friends one more time. He coached first base and even took some swings in the cage. The Dude right up to the end. RIP.
