A FB share from Ivan Ivonavich:

As long term freelance writer for Xtra, in the form of my column, I have been troubled by the paper's handling of the pronoun use of Elisha Lim (they prefer the they pronoun, and Xtra resisted) and the Lexi Sanfino name discussion that has been happening just recently. Just last month, I received a letter myself from a student at a college in New York State whose PROFESSOR had assigned their entire class extra grades for hunting down my legal name. I know how fucked this stuff feels for my own life and heart. Here is my buddy Rae's statement. Please read it, think about it and share it if it moves you.
