Say what you will about Avatar, but it always fulfills on its core mandate:
To watch greedy, heartless, corporate (mostly white) colonizers consumed by wild animals en masse.

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality.
And trans lives are grounded in reality.

First-of-a-kind study shows encouraging data for trans kids who socially transition
Ninety-four percent of participants in a new study stood firm in their trans identity after five years, and "detransitioning" is rare.

Today’s leg day I’m trying a lot of new exercises. Trying to improve mobility in my hips/back and force engagement on weaker muscles like my Hamstrings.
Try different things, see what feels best for my body and bring into the future routine.

Approval Rating doesn’t mean anything if you don’t plan to ever cede power.
New AP poll has Trump's approval on immigration down to an abysmal 38% as he rants psychotically about "shithole countries," smears Somalis, threatens large-scale denaturalization and remigration, and openly pines for more white immigrants and fewer nonwhite ones
