Kellan Baker, the Executive Director of our Institute of Health Research & Policy at Whitman-Walker gave great insight about this new EO.

Madison Pauly @msjpauly.bsky.social · Jan 23

On Monday, Trump tried to redefine “male” and “female” by fiat. I spoke to @kateclancy.bsky.social about the bad science, and Kellan Baker and Kulsoom Ijaz about what it means for trans & pregnant people.

Trump’s definitions of "male" and "female" are nonsense science with staggering ramifications

"How can you so fully misunderstand basic human biology, and then legislate about it?"

A GOP Supreme Court will now decide the fate of transgender Americans

The legal question in United States v. Skrmetti is whether the word “all” means “all.” There’s no guarantee that this Court will say that it does.

Indeed, just like our Dr. Stephen Abbott says below, we are seeing incredible strides in preventing HIV through the use of PrEP! It reduces the risk of getting HIV by at least 99% when taken as prescribed. More info here: www.whitman-walker.org/health-servi...

Wow! Ok so I buy packs of random greeting cards at the thrift store so it’s an adventure…found a piece of local queer history in this one!

A card with a picture of the Washington Monument at night

Back of card reads: The Washington Monument and the Rainbow Pool at night, Washington, DC, July 2004.
