It will always be hilarious to me that
RFK Jr. chose MAHA as the acronym for his "movement." Maybe if he had any medical training or experience at all, he'd realize that was already the acronym for a type of disease, so probably not the best name for a health movement. #MAHA #RFKJr

Sarah McBride laughs off Trump’s anti-trans executive order The first openly transgender member of Congress mocked Trump’s executive order

The funniest thing about this executive order defining everyone as female is that Trump's team tried so hard to find something that universally distinguishes male from female, but in failing to do so, they basically proved that sex isn't strictly binary.

PDFs, scanned images, screenshots, and even cell phone photos are all acceptable, as long as they contain the entire form and are readable. We will not publish your institution’s form directly, and we will keep your identity and the identity of your institution anonymous.

The goal of the study is to characterize the components of such forms, examine their legal and ethical implications, and consider whether our current practices should be modified.
