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.

One of the greatest motivators for abusers lashing out fear of being humiliated, and this man has a lot of power to unleash on people who can't defend themselves from it. Ridiculing him for failing to do the things we desperately don't want him to do is more likely to drive him towards doing them.

More kids are dealing with anxiety, depression, and suicidal thoughts than ever before. And while social media plays a part, experts point to deeper issues like poverty, violence, and policy neglect. This week’s Okay, But Why is about what’s really driving the youth mental health crisis.
Okay, But Why Are Kids Struggling With Their Mental Health?
Kids today have a lot to worry about. Getting through adolescence was hard enough in generations past, but these days, kids have more anxieties than ever. And who can blame them? There were 83 school shootings in 2024 and gun violence is now the number one cause of death for kids. In 2023, 40% of high school students reported persistent feelings of sadness or hopelessness, and that increases to 53% when you just ask girls. And if you ask LGBTQ kids, that number goes all the way up to 65%. Even sadder, suicide has become the second-leading cause of death for kids between 10 and 14. There’s a lot of concern about kids’ phone use, especially social media, and that certainly plays a role. But some experts believe that just two things are primarily to blame for most mental health crises: poverty and violence. And of course the Trump administration...

Instead of addressing issues that actually help North Carolinians, Republicans are passing bills that they have prioritized as being important this year:
😕 firing squad & electric chair as execution method
😣 lifetime concealed carry permit
😖 over-the-counter ivermectin

Thank you @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social as always.

This, this, this:

"Until men engage earnestly & honestly with the pervasiveness of sexual assault and the aspects of the culture that celebrate and normalise it, not enough will change."

Assault. Abuse. Harassment. Objectification.

All of it.
