There is nothing I can write here that is braver or more profound than these two articles authored by other ladies of MTG this past week: Trans and a Gamer Girl by Amanda Stevens and Magical Boy Lost by Heather Dawn.

If I have to answer one more whiny comment on my breasts article, I swear I will come after you like this.
Keep it real: We all have a troll within, but we also have a Sigarda and a !@#$% flock of herons.
Till next time.
