When Hitler started ranting about the Jews from streetcorners in the 1920s, he was part of a long history of European anti-Semitism.
But where in the world did this massive anti-trans campaign come from? I feel like it was invented out of whole cloth in the last five years.

I’m not sure if everyone outside academia is aware that a delay or “pause” in grant funding often means the researchers themselves are lost from the field, along with their expertise.
Watching multiple colleague's work being evaporated by this administration. Wondering when it's my turn.
