An eloquent image:
Setting aside the content under the tarp for a moment, teens were asked to make art expressing what it is like to be a teen, and the end result was a mural wrapped in a tarp by adults.
I bet a lot of teens would find this expressive of their experience.

i hate the game politicians play where they back israel 100% until it starts killing too many people too fast, then they start calling for peace until the killing slows to levels acceptable for them. they're not opposing genocide, they're negotiating how quickly it should proceed

The "number of people normally cited as killed" (~50k atm) is the number which Gazan health officials have confirmed killed by violence. To be part of this number, an identifiable body or a witness must be brought to a hospital and issued a death certificate. Every hospital in Gaza has been bombed.
A Harvard study of IDF data finds that there are 377,000 people unaccounted for in Gaza.
That estimate is six times the number of people normally cited as killed.
Genocide.

A New York Times Podcast on Youth Trans Care Leaves Out the Patients — Assigned
Something must be wrong, they keep suggesting, but they can’t tell us what it is. And they didn’t uplift the stories of the trans youths whose care is under threat.

Johnathan Joss died a hero. He was murdered for being gay, he went out protecting his trans husband from being executed. They burned down their home and killed their pets and then they murdered Joss while trying to murder his husband. The New York times can barely muster "fatally shot." I hate this.

Took me a bit to process how big a deal this report actually is--its thus far the only review to look at the entire body of currently available research. It took two years to conduct, stands at 1,000 pages, and completely contradicts the Cass Review and the common arguments for bans on this care.
Republicans in Utah commissioned an investigation into gender-affirming care for trans youth after banning it in 2023.
They're now rejecting the findings of that investigation which showed access to care reduced suicides and improved "positive mental health and psychosocial functioning outcomes."

Went and I checked this, and Edwin's correct: On the left is text from the reconciliation bill "PROHIBITING FEDERAL MEDICAID AND CHIP FUNDING FOR GENDER TRANSITION PROCEDURES FOR MINORS" On the right is from the Manager's amendment that strikes the word "FOR MINORS."

I think it's quite plain that things like ILGA rankings reflect a broader failure of queer advocacy to recognise free access to medical transition as an essential part of trans rights. You can't accurately reflect the state of trans existence without it
