I'm sorry to bother you, my staff just told me our guy corrected his information and had a number off for his home phone. Have a good day. Hangs up.

Do what? Officer, I'm sorry I have no kids of my own, and I don't know anybody by that name.

Whew, not in trouble!! But someone named Sean with a similar number is apparently about to have a rather bad day.

Why do I get stressed when I go to bed?

Yes sir it is.

Sure no problem officer.

ATTENTION SPIKES UP. What could he want with me? Did I do something wrong? Lord did I forget to pay something? Questions start flying through my head. What would the detention center sheriff want with me?

I'm looking for an answer from people who consider themselves "Gender Critical", or transphobic, or TERFs, and my question is this - Why would you refuse to use the pronouns someone wants? What does it cost you? Where's the harm?

Long pause, OK. (Inaudible talking). Could you hang on for just a sec?

Looks at phone, sees a number local to me, so I answered.

I was trying to reach out to you because we have a Mr X here, who claims you are his legal guardian. He needs you to come down and sign some forms.

What life lesson did you learn the hard way?

No sir I sure don't, I live in the next city over.

Do you reside at 1234 X X Lane?

After a few moments he returns.

What topics are okay with you in comics and what topics should be totally off the table?

I hear a pause on the line, it goes quiet for a few seconds.
