Scout Schultz used they/them pronouns. They were bisexual, non-binary, and intersex. These are straightforward facts, easily verified on the website for Georgia Tech Pride Alliance, the student group Schultz led, after they were fatally shot by campus police.

While cisgender gay men selfishly and ahistorically attempt to distance themselves from trans causes, while bathroom bill after bathroom bill is introduced into various state Houses and Senates, while we live under the rule of a president who saw fit to rescind protections for transgender students, trans people are…

How do we begin to fill in the holes of our undervalued, under-documented LGBT cultural history? What do we do with the stories that gnaw at us for what they leave unanswered as much as they uplift us for what they declare? How do you tell a story that doesn’t have an ending? With his new movie, David France (How To…

If you care about LGBT issues, trans rights and media representation, or reality TV, you probably have heard by now that on Wednesday night’s Survivor, a trans man was outed. During the show’s weekly elimination segment (aka Tribal Council), Jeff Varner, who was on the chopping block, asked his fellow contestant, Zeke…

It is absurd that there should be any public discourse examining where people void their bladders and bowels in 2017, and yet that backward and childish discussion illustrates exactly where we are as a country. Thanks in no small part to the White House’s reversal of Obama’s 2016 directive ordering schools to grant…

A transphobic rap video made by a “concerned” Canadian mom in response to Alberta’s push for all-gender inclusive bathrooms has proven a now undeniable truth—that people will probably do things equally as idiotic as their viewpoints. Blessedly, this is what the Internet was made for.

If you haven’t heard already, the second Wachowski sibling has come out as a trans woman—but the real story here isn’t about a famous half of a Hollywood powerhouse being the woman she always was, but about how her statement that publicly confirmed her inherent, actual self shed light on issues facing the trans…

Tom Hooper’s The Danish Girl is blatant Oscar bait and it knows it.
