How do people not see that the entire OU essay thing is just an attempt by this girl and the Turning Point chapter to turn her into another Riley Gaines grifting on trying to push trans people out of society?

The Family Loan | Kristen Martin The American student loan system assumes and reinforces familial financial entanglement.
