It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.

Auburn University requires faculty to review courses to comply with anti-DEI law Auburn's provost office posted a web site on how to comply with state and federal DEI mandates on Oct. 31.

Disturbing news out of Auburn University, where the admin is pressuring professors to sign a statement saying they're complying with an "anti-DEI" law and TPUSA is holding a rally and trying to record classes.

I hear faculty are terrified to sign, worried this is a pretense for mass firings.
