So I've taken ten minutes to reflect on the past year. What I'm proud of, what I regret, and what I hope to see in the year(s) to come. Thanks to everyone who has stood by us and made this year possible. We know it's been tough but we need to keep going.

I very much appreciate what you do. I have certainly learned from you how to be a better ally. I'm glad to hear of your determination to make things better. Know you have my support and good will. I hope 2020 will be a vast improvement for all of us.

I intentionally steered clear of most of the drama regarding transphobia in the atheist community this year. With GAD, I have to manage my stessors carefully. But I managed to keep abreast of the major turning points. Many of the creators I support on Patreon disappointed me; some behaved abominably. Others, whom I followed without monetary support, were so disgusting that I no longer have any trust in their judgement. Most of all, I admire your ferocity. It pushed me to do some deep thinking and research. My attitude towards trans people has become much more empathetic and accepting both because of your position and because of the utter vacuity and frenzy of the pushback against it. I hope that as you learn to manage your rage in a way that is more healthy for you, this ferocity is not lost.
