Yale ends gender-affirming medication for minors, will continue mental health support Yale's decision comes less than 24 hours after Connecticut Children's Medical Center made its announcement that it'll be closing down its gender-affirming care for minors.

S/o to Yale for defying both basic science and basic human decency with one sadistic decision!!!

Truly such an embarrassment.

New essay from the marvelous Sam Ernest just dropped!!

Can the literati please stop assuming the question about whether or not to have children is central to every reproductively able cis-woman’s intellectual and emotional life?

My hot take is that this has been going on in “literary” fiction since at least 2010, and I am thoroughly and completely over it

Big thanks to my friends, the best readers ever (aka @samuelernest.com, Celine, and Tobi).
