Four generations of my family have served our country. Service is in my blood. The President wouldn’t know anything about that.

Trans News Network has a policy against platforming bigotry. As such, we have declined to publish the Times' statement which included blatant transphobia.

Gender nonconforming gay guy uses the men's bathroom and it's confronted and threatened.
It was never about the bathrooms, privacy, or safety, they simply don't want queer people to exist.

Every American should be ashamed of who we are and what we have become as a nation today. We have a long history of military misadventures and even crimes but the attacks we have been conducting on Venezuela are among the most wanton, egregious and least defensible acts we’ve ever conducted.

What’s most disappointing in reading this is the active role of the NYT science desk in spreading transphobic disinformation. Really shameful what Azeen Ghoryashi (used to respect her for covering sexual harassment in science) and Virginia Hughes did to twist science for their anti-trans campaign.
In this in-depth interview Billie Jean Sweeney — a former editor at The New York Times — details how the paper shifted towards openly promoting anti-trans hatred, why this was directed from the very top, how some staff pushed back and the immense damage done by the NYT legitimizing bigotry.

Remember that time Aretha Franklin performed at the 2015 Kennedy Center Honors, paying tribute to Carole King, who co-wrote “You Make Me Feel Like A Natural Woman,” and it brought a tear to Obama’s eye and everyone to their feet? And Carole King’s reaction. Wow.

We finally nabbed some hellebores at Trader Joe’s this year - they sell out fast and we always miss them! At our local they seem to be the variety Ice n Roses White. At $12.95, they are about half what you would pay at a nursery and they come in a nice metal cache pot. #bloomscrolling

Trans youth healthcare is based in decades of research and supported by every major medical organization in the US. Under RFK Jr, a handpicked panel produced a dodgy report claiming otherwise.
It's a clear example of Kennedy's war on science. So why aren't news organizations treating it that way?

If you're not trans, I don't think I can fully explain how important this is.
It's so powerful that one of the most circulated science media publications in the world has come out and said "trans children are real and providing transition care improves their lives." That's groundbreaking.

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality.
And trans lives are grounded in reality.
