No connections with Canada beyond being a hockey-loving sympathizer here, and my family emigrated from Europe back in the mid 19th century. If things go south, I plan to become a fifth columnist right here.

My son is transitioning to a female identity so from now on I'll refer to her as my younger daughter.

I have a hard time thinking about what might happen with the election. OTOH, I feel really tinfoil-hat-y to think Trump won't leave office and things go more authoritarian, but on the other it seems naïve to ignore all the ominous things going on.
It just seems like we could easily have an election that never really comes to a decision and Trump stays in power because nobody really knows how to handle it or SCOTUS rules essentially that Trump wins.

I'm definitely voting in person. I don't trust that my vote will get counted otherwise either because of mail issues or Missouri signature matching being oddly stricter for urban areas.

That's a big deal, Gud! How's your wife dealing with that? I can't imagine her church is very trans friendly.

She's doing okay. She's completely supportive, but she has some sadness over it which which is normal. She's not really involved with the church right now.
Wow, Gud, that's big news! How is she doing?
She's doing well, though maybe a little frustrated that she has a difficult time passing as female because of her voice and appearance.

Yeah, that is news! I hope she feels more comfortable in her identity this way.

Is she going to pursue HRT? That'll have a big effect.
ION, today would be the first day of high school for Matilda. But she still doesn't have a school assignment. So we are in limbo waiting for a spot to open in one of the four high schools we'd be willing to go into. She's in a Wait Pool for one school, and we're talking to a counselor on Thursday. But it's very stressful and giving me many sleepless nights.
On the other hand, it's all online and probably will be online at least until after xmas break. So everybody else is kind of missing out on the classic Starting High School experience.
