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.

We see y'all. No matter what.

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.

An important point #authors need to talk about: there are NO PAPERBACKS anymore. I’m at WW Norton and Harper Collins. They release hardbacks and ebooks and audio. Frequently they do NOT do a paperback at all. If they do, #books get remaindered. Unless you are a bestseller, you may never get one.
