America is Rejecting Sex-Rejecting Procedures
An abusive strain of pseudoscience (so-called “gender-affirming care”) is coming to a steady end—lawsuits, science, and testimonies from detransitioners ring clear that sex-rejecting procedures, cross-sex hormones, and puberty blockers are nothing less than ideology-driven child mutilation. The first domino fell with the stroke of President Trump’s pen in January 2025. Just days after swearing in […]

Less Activism, More Art: When Award Shows Forget Their Purpose
Recent entertainment award shows, particularly the Grammys, have shifted their focus away from honoring artistic achievement and toward political messaging.
