The Trump administration has one goal for transgender data, none. They don't want data because it represents facts and research that they don't like. #transrights

CDC will no longer process transgender data
The agency's decision will likely affect a number of federal health surveillance systems that serve as critical resources for researchers.

Feminism benefits men. Straight men in more gender-equal relationships:
💡Are 1/2 as likely to be depressed
💡Are much less likely to get divorced
💡Partake in less alcohol, cigarettes and drugs
💡Sleep better at night
💡Get more frequent and better sex!

For those who can, Monday Feb 17 is expected to have large amount of protest. If you want/can participate look in your city and state. Many are taking place in the state capitals. I’ll be participating with the my local NAMI affiliate advocating for mental health.

A relationship built on honesty is not simply about being honest with each other, but also creating a safe space for your partner to be honest with you and have hard conversations.
