How im choosing to help is to give children that would normally not be allowed to have children in the same respect, kids that have three times as much work to do as their peers or kids who do odd things, like, beach therapy. How do speech therapy. How do you explain that to the rest of their class . I want that to be a normal experience. I was working on a certificate and kind of getting think Early Childhood credits brefore i started working here, and we did a section on transgender inclusion, inclusion, which is a big issue here in San Francisco because we attract lots of queer families, and the teacher approached me and said i dont really feel comfortable or qualified to talk about this from, like, a cisgendered straight persons perspective, would you mind talking a little bit with your own experience, and im like absolutely. So im now one of the guest speakers in that particular class at city college. I love g

We appreciate the thoughtfulness and collaboration towards taking the city administrator and we look forward to seeing this passed unanimously at the board of supervisors. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Good morning. I want to think the city administrator and president yee for the leadership on this. As a company, i am with post mate, a company that was involved with very early on. It has been awesome to see how we can create a Regulatory Framework, i think were one of the only companies that has applied for and complied within that framework. But also to see now the development of this office which we think will go a really long way in getting the last speakers remarks. When we champion and want to celebrate this office, we have a couple of thoughts based off of our today.
