Hi Paige! I visited your site today (2/5). I found the quotes that you pulled from the texts to be super interesting and compelling. Several of the quotes you chose are ones that stood out to me when reading as well.
Visited on 02/05. The excerpts chosen from each article also stood out to me. The trans/disabled perspective was very compelling and raises a lot of relevant questions!
