1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics.
It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.
It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.

Moving institutional press decision processes feels like a specialized area of influence that no one has really figured out. *Decades* of people repeatedly pointing to horrendous headline/subhed writing apparently hasn’t even dented editorial judgment. Is there any way to fix this?
Utterly ludicrous framing from @nytimes.com here, treating Pete Hegseth's arguments as if they're legitimate. The casual reader will be left with no inkling whatsoever of how unusual and corrupt an abuse of the process this truly is:

That’s a 53% increase compared to the same period in 2024. Something is going very wrong with support for unpaid carers in Wales.
