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.

glad that more people are looking back at HERO and how it was the real genesis of anti trans laws

I may have lost my best friend because of my illness. She has back pain and deals with migraines and can’t understand why I can’t just push through like she does. She also works out everyday and has the resting heart rate of an athlete. I do not have those things. 1

There will be time for other thoughts and critiques, but for now I'm focusing on two - love and pride for Q, Pepe, Leap, Opal, Yotam, Waller, Whip, Bob, Kiwi, and the rest of the team (sorry, I can't find the roster right now). Rest well and travel safe. New adventures await. #mushersky 6/6
