And they’re just moving me, not both of us. I’m getting moved to Midtown South to work on the case with the biker gangs. As of now, Schein’s assignment doesn’t change.” Another pause. “I’ll see what I can do, but I can’t promise anything. “Sir, what about my partner? Is she also getting moved?” Captain Ramirez is expecting you.”Īnd then it hit her. “Come clean out your desk if you have time tonight, and show up there tomorrow morning. “It’s not coming from me,” McArdle repeated. “But then who’s moving me? Sir, I don’t know anything about gang cases-” She was vaguely aware of the fact that there had been this rash of incidents lately involving biker gangs, though none had hit the 104th. Someone wants you moved to Midtown South to work the biker case.” And it’s not about Klotzman, as far as I know. “Sir, if this is some kind of disciplinary action, I’d really just as soon deal with the suspension.” “You’re being moved to Midtown South, effective immediately.” Miri sat up now, looking concerned at the slightly panicked note in Lily’s voice. Manhattan? That precinct was where the SparrMedia offices were. Lily didn’t allow herself to get excited. Your suspension is ending, as of tomorrow.” “Kyle Klotzman is quitting journalism forever?” “Sparr, I have good news,” he said, not sounding particularly cheerful. Miri stirred awake and Lily picked up the phone. The phone rang halfway into an interview with Christine Lagarde.

The prejudice and persecution experienced by people who don’t conform to the dominant cis-heteronormative, patriarchal culture sometimes makes it difficult to identify transgender historical figures. These people have been identified in many ways throughout history, such as ‘eunuch,’ ‘hermaphrodite,’ ‘third gender,’ or ‘two spirit,’ with some terms seen as offensive nowadays, and others still in use in various cultures around the world. While the term ‘transgender’ is relatively modern still, people who don’t fit neatly into the binary sexes, don’t identify with their gender assigned at birth, have fluid gender and identity, or are otherwise genderqueer have always existed.
