Three years ago, a trans teenager could play sports with their friends in every state in the country. Now it’s a criminal act for them to even transition in multiple states, let alone go on to play sports like any other kid. They deserve people who fight for them.

@xeimevta If you find any good resources for open-access pub, could I bother you to send them my way? I'm in the exact same position (getting out of academia ASAP) but I also still want the world to read these translations, haha

Today, the Supreme Court not only reversed nearly 50 years of precedent, it relegated the most intensely personal decision someone can make to the whims of politicians and ideologues—attacking the essential freedoms of millions of Americans.

IDK who needs to hear this, but non-binary is an umbrella term that encompasses a lot of different genders. It doesn't only mean agender and it can also be used by itself as a gender.

But we don't.

Here are 7 Zoom hacks you probably haven't heard of, but you'll be glad you now know.
