The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality. And trans lives are grounded in reality. We see y'all. No matter what. www.popsci.com/science/tran...

First-of-a-kind study shows encouraging data for trans kids who socially transition
Ninety-four percent of participants in a new study stood firm in their trans identity after five years, and "detransitioning" is rare.

Gonna keep saying this: In the 1840s, Southerners insisted that they could kidnap any person they alleged was a slave without any state or federal process. This turned even minimal process into resistance and raised the salience of the issue, which radicalized a bunch of people against slavery.

The difference between cis HRT and trans HRT reminds of the difference between getting an elective vasectomy vs. an elective hysterectomy. The former is met with little resistance, offered on informed consent; the latter is a last resort, met with a thousand are-you-sures or refused outright

I'm one of many trans people who found relief from depression through HRT. I haven't needed psych meds since transitioning, and have only sought therapy a couple times, to handle major life shifts. Pre-transition? In and out of inpatient for suicidality and eating disorder. It's that real.

Gender dysphoria often doesn't feel like it's about gender. It can feel like your always watching a movie of somebody else's life or an emotional pain that never goes away. For me it was a filter of emptiness and disconnection that was laid over everything. It felt like not being a person.

With ALT text Every day, in every way, that whole First Amendment thing becomes more a theory than an actual constitutional guarantee.

Days after immigration officers arrested a prominent pro- Palestinian campus activist, administrators at Columbia University gathered students and faculty from the journalism school and issued a warning.
Students who were not U.S. citizens should avoid publishing work on Gaza, Ukraine and protests related to their former classmate's arrest, urged Stuart Karle, a First Amendment lawyer and adjunct professor. With about two months to go before graduation, their academic accomplishments — or even their freedom - could be at risk if they attracted the ire of the Trump administration.
"If you have a social media page, make sure it is not filled with commentary on the Middle East," he told the gathering in Pulitzer Hall. When a Palestinian student objected, the journalism school's dean, Jelani Cobb, was more direct about the school's inability to defend international students from federal prosecution.
"Nobody can protect you," Mr. Cobb said. "These are dangerous times."

My assigned sex at birth was a commodity that was bought and paid for. So when I was feminine as a child and then turned out to be transgender, I was going against the product that was sold. That expectation of masculinity that I had to rebel against all my life was a monetary transaction. A monetary transaction. A MONETARY TRANSACTION.

From a federal court decision blocking Trump's anti-trans healthcare order: "The Court cannot fathom discrimination more direct than the plain pronouncement of a policy resting on the premise that the group to which the policy is directed does not exist."
Section 3(g) of the Gender Identity Order is admittedly slightly vaguer than Section 4 of


the Healthcare Order in that it only proscribes the use of "[fJederal [grant] funds [to] promote


gender_ idcology."


The Gender Identity Order, appears, however, to deny the existence of


transgender persons altogether. See Gender Identity Order $ 1 (describing the purpose of the order


as "defend[ing] women's rights and protect[ing] freedom of conscience by using clear and accurate


language and policies that recognize women are biologically female, and men are biologically

male"); id. $ 2 ("It is the policy of the United States to recognize two sexes, male and female.


These sexes are not changeable and are grounded in fundamental and incontrovertible reality.")


The Court cannot fathom discrimination more direct than the plain pronouncement of a policy


resting on the premise that the group to which the policy is directed does not exist. Thus, Section


3(g) of the Gender Identity Order can only be read as doing exactly what Section-4 of the


Healthcare Order does


cease funding institutions, including medical institutions, that provide


gender affirming medical care to patients under the age of nineteen.


Thus, as with Section 4 of


Healthcare Order, Kadel mandates a similar finding of discrimination as to Section 3(g) of the


Gender Identity Order.
