So . . . Pete Hegseth is now promoting gender-affirming care. Yep, he's going to start testing military men over 30 for low testosterone and prescribing hormone therapy for those whose testosterone he deems too low. I wish I was making this up. Source: NPR news broadcast just now.

Happy International Non-Binary Peoples' Day, everyone! For everyone who doesn't fit neatly into the classic gender definitions, we hope that you're thriving as best you can in hard times.

This Saturday, May 2! It's the TRANS NERD MEET UP. We're at Zeitgeist in SF, from 12:30 until whenever. If you don't consider yourself cis, and you like to geek out about ANYTHING AT ALL, come hang out with us. <3

We frequently recommend ForteFemme. Dive deeper into why.

Who comes to ForteFemme? Perhaps not who you think.... It’s the teacher, the artist, the parent, the CEO, the scientist. It's the recent divorcee, and even the curious newbie. The ones building something real in her everyday life who wants to go a bit deeper.

A powerful man sexually pursuing a young woman who works for him is oppressive. It immediately limits and reshapes her future to her detriment, whether she is physically forced into it or not. It’s coercion either way, and that is why it’s so wrong. It’s an abuse of power.

Attention all bootblacks! Is this in your repertoire, and if not why not?

In Turkey, an elderly man who earns his living by shining shoes is visited every morning at the same time by a cat that asks to have its fur brushed. The man never turns down this little friend.😍👍💙

Yes, allyship should "run deeper than what's displayed on walls." But seeing Pride flags is a first step queer folks use to know when they're on safe ground. Demanding stores remove the flags is a profound error on the part of Philz. For shame.

The CEO said the removal was to create an “inclusive experience” for customers.

The sticker reads — accurately — “My coworking space is queer as f*ck!” We are so lucky to have landed at Trellis.

A blessed TACO Tuesday to all who celebrate.

This morning, President Trump threatened to commit massive genocide in Iran. Today we are all tested.

There's something called the Streisand Effect: drawing attention to something by trying to suppress it. God bless the Adams Co Sherriff's Department for making us aware that Afroman is still making music. God bless 'em.
