BREAKING: A federal judge in Massachusetts (the Reagan-appointed William Young) has declared the Trump administration's cuts to NIH grants — ostensibly over Trump's EOs on gender ideology and DEI — are "illegal" and "void." He's ordering many grants restored.

Returning from a Bluesky hiatus to share that I’m grateful for this recognition of my research. Ending gender-based violence and supporting survivors, especially those who are most structurally marginalized, remains my priority.

Passports didn't have a gender marker before 1978 when the UN made them mandatory because of "the rise of unisex fashion and hairstyles." Removing them would require a change in rules from the UN's International Civic Aviation Organization.
