How the Right Uses “Gender Ideology” to Blame Trans People for Everything

/

Hours after being sworn in for a second term, President Donald Trump used his constitutionally vested powers to define “man” and “woman.” In an executive order, he said his administration would recognize only two immutable, biological sexes, determined at conception, in the name of “defending women” from a rising scourge: “gender ideology.” It was the […]

It’s True: The Internet Skews the Reality of Women (and Men) in the Workforce

In the 1970s, when researchers asked children to draw a scientist, 99 percent of them drew a man.

Today, Google […]

SCOTUS Wades Back Into the War on Trans Kids—And Considers Greenlighting Conversion Therapy

/

Since the early 2010s, amid a sea change of public acceptance of LGBTQ people, state after state banned the use of conversion therapy—the debunked, harmful practice of trying to change a person’s sexual orientation or gender identity—on children and teenagers.

Right-Wing Fanatics Are Weaponizing America’s Anti-Discrimination Agency

/

Dylan Bringuel isn’t sure what’s worse: enduring what a federal agency identified as a “hostile work environment because of Bringuel’s transgender status” or that same agency abandoning them after committing to hold their employer accountable.

Speaking at the Museum of the Bible on Monday, President Donald Trump repeated one of his favorite falsehoods as of late: That his deployment of the National Guard in Washington, DC, has virtually eliminated crime in the nation’s capital.
