Is the polyamory dream over — and did Lindy West kill it? Lindy West drove 3,000 miles to make peace with her husband's girlfriend. The internet has not made peace with any of it. Holly Baxter asks why polyamory generates so much heat — and examines what the...

In response to Lindy West's new book, Holly Baxter at the Independent recently interviewed me about the possibility that #polyamory and other forms of #consensualnonmonogamy are sustainable. Refreshingly, Baxter offers quite a balanced view of CNM.

I find the #SCOTUS decision protecting conversion "therapy" (aka abuse) to be especially problematic given that today is Transgender Day of Visibility. Why do we need a day to celebrate transfolx? BECAUSE THEY ARE UNDER CONSTANT ATTACK!!!!! Shame on SCOTUS!

Gina Cherelus from the New York Times interviewed me about "one-sided hashtag#monogamy" in the manosphere. Unsurprisingly, I disagreed with the manosphere view that women want to be dominated and men know better than women do what is good for "their" women.

How many people #fantasize about or do #kinky things, and how many people think of themselves as kinky people? Find out what the #research says in my newest blog on Psychology Today!

Election Night Proved Democrats Don’t Need to Abandon Trans People to Win Mamdani, Spanberger and other wins tell Dems: you don’t need to cave on transgender rights to win an election.

Trans lives matter! Clearly there is no need to throw transfolx under the bus for hollow political gain! Outcomes of recent political races demonstrate that we can support transfolx and still win, and that abandoning them does not help us on any level. Trans rights now!
