This Anti-Trans Moral Panic Was Never About How We Define Gender
There's been a huge debate about the "transgenders" recently. I can hear the "just asking questions" starter pack now. Are trans women real women? What is gender? What is sex? Do we really need to respect these people who are changing the game on this thing that has always existed?

Brazilian Peace and Prosperity. Ready or Not
Bolsonaro is a right-wing Brazilian politician who has been vocal about his desire to destroy democracy. He has expressed support for dictatorship and has said that he would "eradicate totally" the country's political system if he ever became president again. If re-elected, Bolsonaro would be the first president in Brazil's history with no prior political experience. His policies, if enacted, would have serious consequences for the country's citizens, who have been fighting for democracy for over 30 years.
