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.

The EPA is starting to allow the use of pesticides containing PFAS on food.
The move is part of an effort to roll back the regulation of what are called "forever chemicals" because they don't break down easily in the environment.

My daughters’ middle school didn’t allow sleeveless tops because shoulders are distracting.
The problem is not, and has never been, young girls.
The problem is not, and has never been, young girls.
On a peer-to-peer level this is troubling.
But young girls are also often told that their dress and behavior—really, just their sexual nature—can be a “stumbling block” for the older men around them.
In other words, it’s their fault for looking so mature.

One of the laws now postponed required ballot titles from citizen groups to be written at the 8th grade reading level. The requirement didn’t apply to constitutional amendment ballot titles from the legislature.
A big deal for the Arkansas citizen initiative process. Arkansas is the only southern state with a robust form of citizen initiatives - referendums, state laws and constitutional amendments.
Via @arkansasadvocate.com: A federal judge on Wednesday issued a preliminary injunction that blocks the enforcement of several direct democracy-related laws against Arkansas groups collecting signatures to qualify proposed ballot measures for the 2026 ballot. #arpx #arleg
