Jack's book is the primer you or people you know are looking for when it comes to trans lives and gender identity. My students in my sociology of sex class learned a lot from the politics chapter I assigned from it, and it generated great class discussions.

Musk is trying to get people to cancel their Netflix accounts if Netflix doesn’t remove its LGBT characters.

Elon Musk Leads Campaign To Force Netflix To Remove Shows With Trans Characters Musk's posts have been seen by tens of millions of users, and many conservatives are now attempting to force Netflix into a removal of LGBTQ+ content.

1. Led by Elon Musk, the far-right has exploded in a campaign to get Netflix to remove shows with queer and trans characters.

If Netflix capitulates to their demands, an already strained market for LGBTQ+ animators might become even more dire.

This isn’t β€œcommon sense.”

Common sense is passing laws that *improve* public safety.

The Minneapolis Shooter was Transgender. That Doesn’t Mean Transgender People are Dangerous. Today the country is in mourning about yet another school shooting. The tragedy in Minneapolis left two children dead and at least 18 others injured. Many more who were at Annunciation Catholic Church...

Reminder:

- 99.9% of mass shooters are cΓ―sgender.

- Trans people are over-represented among victims of violence and under-represented among perpetrators.

I’m a psychiatry professor, and this is ignorant nonsense.

These people should not be in government.
