An audience

Novella stared at the man; almost in disbelief. She'd expected one of his moods... not simple acceptance. My wife was placed with men, she was not allowed to shave her facial hair. And they cut her hair short; shaved it, in fact. She'd moved to sit across from the man, taking more space than one probably should when dealing with the Archon.

I understand re-education is necessary. I support that, and have helped re-educate many citizens, as you know. She began, biting her lip. But gender affirming care should not be denied. That damages the psyche and makes any released from re-education a risk to their own health. Like her wife, who had left the compound.

I request that you work with my wife, to ensure that there is a better understanding of gender identity within the re-education system. It wasn't really a request. It didn't even sound like a request. It was a statement.
