Trump’s actions are irreconcilable with Christian compassion. But an unholy alliance seeks to cast empathy as a parasitic plague

The Supreme Court is focused on bans in West Virginia and Idaho, but the outcome could be hugely consequential for trans rights and LGBTQ+ equality more broadly. Experts here breakdown what's at stake:

How the US supreme court case on trans athletes could unravel LGBTQ+ rights
If bans on trans youth athletes are upheld, more girls could face ‘invasive sex testing’ and trans people could broadly lose civil rights protections

These teenage athletes have faced death threats, attacks by the president + people in their community pushing to ban them. They've also been embraced by teammates, coaches + competitors and say they just want to keep doing what they love. “I’m just a kid that wants to play sports with my friends"

As the Supreme Court considers state laws banning trans girls from sports, hear from three youth directly about the joy of athletics and the impact of the efforts to kick them off their teams. “Playing sports and loving being out there on the field is in its own beautiful way an act of resistance.”

I wrote about how women are going feral for Heated Rivalry, and what that tells us about the state of masculinity. Maybe the real romantasy is not sex and romance with dragons and fairies, but sex and romance without misogyny and gendered hierarchy.

"One day, I left school and drove to a gas station to use their bathroom. Another day, I held it and thought I was going to pee myself in front of class ... This is humiliation disguised as policy, and it is why I decided to leave a job I love and was born to do."

I loved my teaching job. But as a trans man in Texas, quitting was the only way to get my dignity back

Look at the hundreds of people in that community in Minneapolis who ran TOWARDS the danger. Look at those who documented in their heads what happened so they could accurately recount it afterwards, look at those currently out protesting. Pay attention & do your part too.

Human brains feed off of negativity. Negative thoughts are easily digested and play in a loop in your mind all of the time. The reality, however, is that there is also A LOT OF GOOD happening every single minute. You have to do more work to pay attention to the good but it's worth it.
