Jackie Mitchell struck out Babe Ruth and Lou Gherig on THREE PITCHES EACH in the same inning during an exhibition game. As a reward, her contract was voided and baseball was deemed "too strenuous for women". They should be playing it today instead of softball in my opinion.

Why are Republican states trying to overturn a pillar of disability rights?

They may not be successful in repealing Section 504 as part of the attack on treating gender dysphoria, but it begs the question of what they might come for next.

The YA publishing crisis isn’t that we need more mature YA books or a Mature YA label, it’s that we need more YA books published for teens of all ages and less YA books published as YA but also wanting to reach Adult audiences. Adults have plenty of books published for them.

Authors Against Book Bans @authorsabb.bsky.social · 07/02/2025

AABB stands with our trans members, friends, colleagues, heroes, and the countless trans Americans who will be affected by this needlessly cruel Executive Order from the Trump Administration. We are proud to do so alongside so many of our comrades in the fight against book bans.

Statement on the Trump administration's january 20,2025 EO Targeting Transgender, Intersex, Nonbinary and Gender Non Conforming Americans

On January 20, the White House issued an executive order stating that
the United States government will only recognize two sexes, male and
female, as defined “at conception.” The ripple effect of this order will
undoubtedly affect public schools, public libraries, and the literature
that is shelved in both.
Among the many harms it causes, the order targeting transgender,
intersex, nonbinary, and gender nonconforming Americans threatens
unconstitutional censorship that could have a grave impact on literature
for years to come. In dismissing trans, intersex, and nonbinary identities,
the order blacklists LGBTQIA+ literature and invites the government to
dictate the perspectives, beliefs, and identities that can exist in public
forums receiving federal funding, amounting to financial coercion
through the arbitrary withholding of funds. This censorship may begin
with LGBTQIA+ perspectives, but it will not end there: allowing the
government to censor one group erodes the First Amendment rights of
all Americans, creating a precedent for silencing dissenting voices.

If allowed to stand, the order will create new funding requirements
imposed not only on federal entities, but private citizens and
institutions who contract with them. Those requirements can and will be
manipulated to dictate speech. The broader chilling effect on literature
could be even harder to undo. Writers rely on funding from sources like
the National Endowment for the Arts and the National Endowment for
the Humanities, as well as the state-level institutions they fund.
Trans, nonbinary, and intersex experience is vastly underrepresented in
literature but disproportionately targeted by bans. During the 2022-2023
school year, 30% of books banned included LGBTQIA+ characters or
themes. Such censorship robs us of perspectives that enrich the
American story. Though the executive order in question tries to paint
LGBTQIA+ people and allies as bullies enforcing their perspective on

others through “legal and other socially coercive means,” that’s exactly
what the order itself does, just as book-banning pressure groups have
done since 2020 in school boards and libraries around the country. The
fate of trans, intersex, and nonbinary people is not a political ideology,
it’s a matter of human rights, civil rights, and freedom of expression.
Government erosion of those rights should concern all Americans,
regardless of their investment in LGBTQIA+ literature specifically.

This executive order is censorship, pure and simple, and it has no place
in a free society. It must be rescinded or stayed as soon as possible, and
at the latest, before the earliest implementation deadline, February 19,
2025. Financially blacklisting trans, intersex, and non-binary
perspectives will rob us of a vital literature yet to be written while
insulting the dignity of LGBTQIA+ people everywhere. This return to
McCarthyism by other means is a leap backwards to a grim chapter of
American history.
