As we approach the end of the year, Nurbolot, a gay man from Kyrgyzstan who featured in our short film shares a message of reflection on belonging and resilience. Nurbolot also thanks everyone who continues to stand in solidarity with LGBTQI+ people seeking safety.

Happy solstice - tonight is the longest night.
The light is creeping back in, too slowly to notice it just yet. And maybe, so could the hope.

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.

First-of-a-kind study shows encouraging data for trans kids who socially transition
Ninety-four percent of participants in a new study stood firm in their trans identity after five years, and "detransitioning" is rare.

It is a sign of how fundamentally abused and traumatised trans communities are in the UK that many folks are responding to Levy with relief and cautious welcome.
It could have been a lot worse.
But it fundamentally fails to deliver meaningful improvements to trans healthcare. 1/4

Imagine if the NHS just said to GPs, you have our permission to prescribe HRT to trans people. GICs are there for complex cases and advice, but you're free to do it. If stuff goes wrong, refer to GICs or endos as you do for the cis.
