Thank you for sharing this.

Thank you for sharing this, and for all the work you do to fight censorship and protect our fundamental human right to sexual freedom.

Gender is not an ideology – but conservative groups know learning about it empowers people to think for themselves From book bans and firing teachers to taking over university administrations altogether, right-wing politicians and activists worldwide have been keen on rooting out gender from schools. Why is that?

Thrilled to collaborate with Victoria Pitts-Taylor on this piece about why gender is under attack. Hint: it’s about democracy as much as it’s about bodies and roles

Pleasure, Power, and the Silence Around Death with Elizabeth Wood - Seeing Death Clearly Elizabeth Wood, a sociologist who studied gender and sexuality, found her focus shifting when her mother was diagnosed with kidney cancer in 2009 and later terminal cancer in 2012. Watching her mother...

I had a great time with Jill McClellen on Seeing Death Clearly. We covered tons of ground about some of the hardest conversations we need to have. From "why can't I talk to my doctor about this" to "what do we tell the kids," we touched on it all. bit.ly/SeeingDeathC... #DeathDoula #EndOfLifeCare

You need this book or you know someone who does. And it’s free until 6/25. Kate Bornstein’s “Hello, Cruel World” is full of ideas about how to stay alive and push back against the injustice that makes it hard to feel loved and respected.

Thank you, Auntie Kate @katebornstein.bsky.social

So grateful to work with an organization working to advance to sexual freedom and human rights through education, research, advocacy, and coalition-building. Especially when our kids are being threatened.

With everything going on in the world it can be hard to remember the local politics matter. It’s primary season here in NYC and early voting is open. My $.02? Rank the slate. #DontRankCuomo

I see you, trans friends, and I honor you. I despise the actions the U.S. government has taken in its attempt to render you invisible or deny your existence. You are real. You are powerful. You matter!

BREAKING NEWS: CDC orders mass retraction and revision of submitted research across all science and medicine journals. Banned terms must be scrubbed. Any unpublished manuscript mentioning certain topics, including gender and "LGBT," must be pulled or revised.

The order does NOT have the force of law, but some hospital systems are too scared of trump to defend trans kids in their care.

This one at UVA Hospital.

A doctor in NY has been indicted in Louisiana for violating the state’s abortion ban via telemedicine. I hope NY’s shield law holds. This seems to be the first such case.

Video: Opinion | The Hardest Conversation to Have With Your Parents

I love this NYT Op-Doc. Three conversations. In each, an adult child asks a parent about their sex life. The unexpected moments are beautiful. What do you think would happen if you asked your parent (or your adult child) these questions?

Alice Brock, Restaurant Owner Made Famous by a Song, Dies at 83 Arlo Guthrie’s antiwar staple “Alice’s Restaurant” was inspired by a Thanksgiving Day visit to her diner in western Massachusetts.

At Thanksgiving we often listen to Arlo Guthrie’s “Alice’s Restaurant.” Just a tiny act of celebratory resistance against war and repression. Today I read that Alice died. Please leave positive thoughts in the comments to help counter what feels like an ill omen.

Dramatic sky, late fall light, and the shimmer of the ocean. It’s okay to be unsettled. There is beauty and power in all kinds of energy.

Good to meet you, Ed. Thanks!
