We have been censored in the US for our research on LGBTQ+ sexual violence. My co-authors and I are extremely concerned about research and activism being censored and the speed with which organisations have acquiesced to transphobic, homophobic and misogynist demands.

“Gender-affirming care is potentially life-saving, or at the very least life-affirming. It almost invariably leads to better social and emotional outcomes. Further restricting access is not the “protection” its opponents claim.” theconversation.com/can-a-child-...

The question that should always be asked first is 'what sort of man wants to be a cop?' Once the 'wants to help people' bs has rightly been rejected what's the answer? He wants to feel superior, be dominant, and force others to capitulate under the guise of 'the law' www.sbs.com.au/news/article...

The facts are in on this: The younger a child is when they are put into prison, the more likely it is they will continue to be in prison across their lifetimes. These policies harm children, families and communities and create crime.
