Transgender girls are girls. They sense themselves to be girls. Their brains recognize that they are girls. They take medications (sometimes) to help their bodies be more consistent with their essential girlness. No matter how much folks like Sen. Bryant Richardson, R-Seaford, insist that they are not girls, transgender girls are girls.

Recent op-eds on the 340B program cite the need to work together to serve our communities. We couldn’t agree more, but one-sided reforms to the 340B program will not move us toward true solutions.

The treatment of the Ukrainian president in the Oval Office by our president and vice president was nothing short of despicable. He was treated with disrespect, including being accused of not being sufficiently subservient.

Once upon a time, there was a beautiful kingdom, so wonderful that the whole world marveled at it. Its achievements in the arts, sciences, medicine and in caring for the welfare of its own citizens — no matter how rich or poor — as well as its ability to defend itself and its ability to help nations and peoples beyond its shores was second to none.

I am writing to you to highlight the extensive problem of litter and plastic pollution on the Eastern Shore and to offer a solution. Of the 5.5 billion beverage containers (metal, glass and plastic) sold each year in Maryland, more than 4 billion are left in the environment, along roads, in waterways, on our beaches.

For too long, I have stayed silent because of my professional position. As chief of staff for the Delaware Senate’s Republicans, I have had to be mindful that my words could be interpreted as representing my entire caucus, even when speaking about personal beliefs. But I can’t sit on the sidelines anymore.
