We built an interactive tool on same-sex couples at the national, state, and county levels. It also allows you to explore data by gender, race/ethnicity, and relationship status. 👉 tinyurl.com/WISSCouples

So my to-do list has officially become a Hydra: cut off one head, two more grow. 😃

Christianity has long revered saints who would be called ‘transgender’ today There are at least 34 documented stories of transgender saints’ lives, three of which had widespread popularity in medieval Europe.

#MorningReads There are at least 34 documented stories of transgender saints’ lives from the early centuries of Christianity & at least 3 gained widespread popularity in medieval Europe: St. Eugenia, St. Euphrosyne and St. Marinos. #translivesmatter #notallchristiansareantitrans #transpride

It is also worth noting that barrier and traditional contraceptive methods were widely used during the pandemic.

Men also reported a greater increase in both sexual activity and contraceptive use compared to women during the pandemic, raising an important question: who are these men having sex with? This gendered discrepancy highlights the persistence of traditional sexual norms in Turkey.

COVID-19 put a serious strain on couples in Turkey. Our data shows a rise in arguments and intolerance, but also deeper emotional bonds. Take a look at our snapshot for a glimpse into these dynamics:

Çok tebrikler!!!

Fail aklayıcılığını asla ama asla kabul etmiyoruz.
İşlevsizleştirilen Cinsel Tacizi Önleme Komisyonu (CİTOK) derhal yeniden işler hale gelmelidir.

Herkesi alacağız 💪💪💪

Mahir Polat’ın yine hürriyetini tahdit suçu mahiyetinde bir tedbirle de olsa nihayet tahliye olması son derece yerindedir ve geniş kesimlerce sahiplenilen haklı bir adalet mücadelesinin sonucudur.

Tüm arkadaşlarımızı, gençleri, haksız yere esir tutulan herkesi alacağız.

Geçmiş olsun Mahir Başkan🍀

#MahirPolat ev hapsi şartıyla tahliye edilmiş.
Adalete o kadar açız ki, hiçbir suçu olmayan birinin ev hapsine bile sevinir olduk.
Haksız, hukuksuz yere tutulan herkesi serbest bırakın.
#hak #hukuk #adalet istiyoruz.
