What they found is that, after mere months of HRT, trans women’s bodies may change down to the molecular level.

“This highlights that human biology is malleable and that even in adulthood, our bodies respond to sex hormone changes,” co-author Dr. Boris Novakovic said in a press release about the project. In other words, the endeavor shows the true range and plasticity of human bodies, including the idea of sex, which many gender conservatives falsely argue is immutable, binary, and stagnant.

This also matches fairly well with another study that found trans men can develop vaginal prostate tissue after taking testosterone.

U.S. District Judge Ann Aiken announced during a conference call between state attorneys and federal officials that she intends to issue a preliminary injunction blocking the policy, denouncing what she described as “a sort of separate-but-equal policy” on sex education. The coalition of 16 states argued that the Trump administration’s new directive violated the Administrative Procedure Act, was arbitrary and capricious, and infringed upon the Constitution’s separation of powers. While the specific grounds for Judge Aiken’s forthcoming injunction are not yet known as the order has not been released publicly as of yet, her decision represents a major setback for the administration—one that will, at least for now, halt some of its efforts to weaponize federal funding against schools that teach about gender identity or include transgender students in their curricula.

As an AMAB woman with an F on my ID I would be terrified of going to the US let alone someone with an X on their ID. Glade that the government is starting to realize.

Gutted to see California isn’t on the list, but it’s good to see someone fighting back.

My name is Soliman, from Gaza. Since the beginning of the war, my family and I have been living in unbearable conditions. Our home was completely destroyed, and we no longer have a place to shelter. My children sleep on the ground, surrounded by cold and hunger.

Every day I wake up hoping to find a helping hand, to secure a tent or a roof to protect us from the harsh nights. I am exhausted from carrying this burden alone, but I believe that kind hearts can save us.

I beg you to help us, even with a little—every donation is a new life for us, a step closer to safety.
