Trevor Project released its annual LGBTQ youth mental health report. The results are shocking. 40% of trans youth seriously considered attempting suicide in the past year. Trans youth who wanted hormones but couldn’t access them were nearly twice as likely to attempt suicide than those who could.

It’s true: not all men use sexual force. But 95.1% of men in a recent, anonymous survey of men between the ages of 18 and 34 reported having recently used at least one strategy to get a woman to have sex who they knew did not want sex and had not consented. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Hearing from #NIH sources the peer review office (CSR) is being broken. "They [top of CSR] want ppl with zero expertise in the review area to run review.

The Supreme Court just gutted conversion therapy bans across America 8 to 1. The court just gave the green light to a practice the United Nations calls torture.

EIGHT to one? Not 6-3 along party lines - EIGHT to one??? This is going to kill people. Not an exaggeration. Higher depression, PTSD and suicide rates are guaranteed. These effects of conversion therapy already cost Americans $9.23 BILLION a year. This ruling will make everything much worse.
