I understand ambivalence about TDoV. No one should _have_ to be visible, especially when that visibility is so dangerous.
On the other hand, representation will always matter.
Everyone contributes in different ways, you don't have to put yourselves out there.
But enough of us do need to do that to change the shape of the conversation, to bend the arc of governance and policy making, and to ensure young trans folks can see that they have elders and a future.




Karlsruhe's Nuclear Research Center is a secluded facility in the middle of a forest north of the city. To facilitate commuting, this extensive research complex is served by a dedicated branch of the Karlsruhe Stadtbahn system. Usually, this line is served by just two morning trains and two afternoon trains, all closed to the public, like the facility itself - but every couple of years, there is a chance to ride this line (and take photos of it) for the general public on Open Day events.
