I admit I was once one of these.

 

Trans teenage boys are just as likely to get pregnant as cisgender girls, but sex-ed programs don't speak to them...

 

“That’s what ballroom is about, being yourself, even if it’s just for a few hours,” one participant said.

Damn, I see what you're saying now. I'm almost 30 and I'd say I'm jaded lol but being on the autism spectrum/general brainweirdness means I don't interpret the world the way most people do and need some help understanding what normal people see. What I would think is common sense or logical or even easy to understand is just not most people's experience, and vice versa-- what others think are obvious (in social situations especially) don't even occur to me until someone points it out. I find things out the hard way most of the time. Thanks for clearing things up.

I'd been thinking the title meant trans people are more likely to be poor. And because I'd recently seen a meme about right-wingers blaming LGBTQ people for things, thought this was a good article some of those right-wingers might need to see. Like, look, you can't blame trans people for your problems because they're also likely to be poor. But I might be assuming a lot about how things might be interpreted here, because I did not expect all this, lol.

i wouldn't say it's entirely unhelpful at this broad of an analysis, because it is important to point out that this is a thing for people who might find it surprising. but i do see what you mean by "the title implies causation when all the study is is a correlation."

 

New research has revealed trans people are more likely to come from poorer backgrounds and have worse mental health.

 

New data shows a record-breaking number of businesses are displaying true LGBTQ+ allyship to their employees.

I like OP's idea but I wonder about the legality of it and how it might be used against BookWyrm by private entities. Interoperability/plugins that act as middle-men + open library seems like the way.

this is what i was wondering, if there's any way to download it then separate it from their app

 

And now for some good news... Middle schoolers have written to their local Moms for Liberty chapter to tell them to ‘stop bullying’ LGBTQ+ youth and their families.
