1. In a draconian new policy, Texas Tech is banning writing about LGBTQ+ topics. The ban is the first don't say gay or trans policy to apply to students themselves. It applies to any thesis/dissertation moving forward. They are using AI to scan everything. Subscribe to support our journalism.

I understand market forces pushing a rink to closure, but to not have a conversation with your primary users ahead of time is total BS. The Valley Ice Center and Scott Floman left a whole hockey club in the lurch with a month’s notice. Not even giving the club a chance to find alternatives.

Swimming meme with the adult holding a smiling child on the steps of a pool while another kid in the foreground is visibly upset struggling to stay afloat. The adult is labeled as “photographers” and the smiling kid getting attention is the “jammer” while the struggling child being ignored is the “blocker”

When trans masc athletes start winning competitions regularly, they'll ban them too and use the excuse of "doping" to do it. That blows up their whole "biological sex" argument though.
Three smiling transmasculine athletes stand arm-in-arm on a rocky beach. The person on the left wears a black and white cycling jersey reading "BODIES ARE NOT BANS," black cycling shorts, and holds a transgender pride flag draped over their shoulder. The person in the middle wears black swim briefs and has a finisher medal around their neck. The shirtless person on the right has multiple tattoos, wears black running shorts with a small trans flag patch, and is holding up their finisher medal. The individuals in the middle and on the right have visible top surgery scars.
​The logo for the publication "them" is in the top left corner. Large white text overlaid across the bottom of the image reads: "A Transmasc Ironman Trio Won Third Place in a Relay, Beating Over 200 Other Teams by Mathew Rodriguez".

hi, cis folks! it’s been a little over a month since the 2 biggest private hospitals in NYC ended trans youth care. some folks thought this was resolved with a judge’s ruling or a letter from the NYAG. care has *not* resumed! there’s a simple ask ⬇️ for you, if you’re willing to fight with us. 🧵
Manhattan Hospital Ends Medical Treatment for Transgender Youth
NYU Langone Health cited the "current regulatory environment" in its decision to discontinue its gender medicine program for minors.

The NYT reported how Dr. Oz held a meeting with Medical orgs and a anti-trans hate group to coerce those groups into backing off their support of trans youth. Jeremy Peters and the NYT framed this shakedown as a reasonable meeting about medical evidence standards. The NYT's bias is clear again.
"A screenshot of a New York Times article published on March 16, 2026. The headline reads, 'In Tense Meeting, Dr. Oz Pressed Medical Societies on Trans Care for Teens,' with a subheadline stating, 'Most groups defended their support for medical intervention. But the Society for Plastic Surgeons broke with the consensus.' Below the text is a photograph of Dr. Mehmet Oz speaking at a podium bearing the Presidential seal, with blurred figures and flags in the background. The article is credited to Jeremy W. Peters."
