Chicago scientist to launch a ‘transquake’ to counter anti-trans misinformation

Chicago scientist Jey McCreight is marking DNA Day on April 25 by testing a simple, provocative question: What happens if trans people become “too powerful” all at once? It’s not a serious hypothesis. But the experiment—dubbed a “transquake”—is very real. The transquake is part of a worldwide day of action with an in-person event in Chicago that doubles as the launch of…
