I did my master’s thesis on emergency contraception and I used gender-neutral language throughout. Most people didn’t notice. My supervisor occasionally asked me to use the word “women” instead of the word “people” but didn’t care enough to follow up when I ignored him. None of the people who reviewed and marked my thesis made any comment on the language I chose to use.

Using gender-neutral language was easy and I suffered no consequences for doing so as an academic, even when writing a detailed thesis on human reproductive biology.

I don’t even live in Texas but honestly we need politicians like Beto 

What’s so great about Beto?

  • Doesn’t take any PAC money or big donor money period. Left or right. Won’t be beholden to big money interests.
  • Already pledged to support Bernie’s Medicare for All bill should he win
  • Legalization of Marijuana, expunging records of nonviolent drug offenders.
  • He wouldn’t have voted for Kavanaugh, and he would have voted for the Violence Against Women reauthorization.
  • Expanding of LGBTQ rights.
  • Public works projects like extending broadband access to rural areas and funding for the rail project between Dallas-SA-Austin-Houston.
  • Bringing back and protecting the voting rights act.
  • Increasing money for the VA.
  • Finding healthy solutions to immigration and the boarder, just like his home town El Paso a boarder town that’s one of the safest cities in the country
  • Prison reform, ending for profit prisons.

If people under age 35 show up to the polls, Beto can win. There are enough young voters to get rid of Ted Cruz, who is a truly terrible person.

Vote in Texas!!!
