Trump’s Attack on Gender-Affirming Care for Trans Youth Will Be Challenged in the Courts, but It’s Alarming Nonetheless

Trump’s latest anti-trans Executive Order targets trans people seeking gender-affirming care under the age of 19, using pseudoscience, outright falsehoods, fear-mongering, and the threat of prosecution against medical practices enthusiastically endorsed by medical professionals to make its case.

Trump’s Latest Attempt to Ban Trans People From The Military Comes With Extra Malice

Famously dishonorable cretins Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth claim that being trans is incompatible with military principles of possessing an “honorable, truthful and disciplined lifestyle, even in one’s personal life.”

‘Sex Lives of College Girls’ Finale Confirms Our Gaydars With Main Character Coming Out Bisexual

After Renée Rapp’s exit, I worried ‘Sex Lives of College Girls’ would focus less on the queer community at Essex, but the show found its footing by making the show even queerer. Too queer? There’s no such thing.

The good news is Reinhart has finally found another project that shows the breadth of her skill. The bad news is Cooper Raiff’s Hal & Harper is never quite as good as this performance or its potential.
