Novella Tilani didn't look like much, dressed in her fine silks and colorful pallettes that her wife so-preferred. But the few weeks after her wife's release from "re-education" (it was a prison, she knew this and she knew everyone else knew this to), she couldn't escape the idea that she should talk to the Archon about the treatment of her spouse.
Not the re-education itself, but the fact they placed her in a men's ward, and treated her like a man, refusing gender affirming care. It bothered her; and the typically meek housewife was not above approaching the Archon at one of his 'open office' days.
He might recognize her, though she doubted it. Her code-name was no longer the only name she had at her disposal. And her wings carefully hidden away, by the amulet around her neck. She entered, not even pausing to curtsy, as she approached the man.

I would like to discuss gender-affirming care in the prison and re-education systems.
