Hey all y'all need to stop using "guys" in mixed company.
- My trans girlfriend is not a guy.
- My cis girlfriend is not a guy.
- I'm not a guy (or a girl, but that's not relevant here).
Misgendering is misgendering鈥攅ven if "everyone's doing it".
Patriarchy shouldn't be the default.

The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled to keep Tennessee's ban on gender-affirming care for transgender youth. It's just one more restriction on health care for young trans people; twenty-five states ban hormone replacement therapy and puberty blockers for trans youth and of those, six have made it a felony for medical providers to administer gender-affirming care. @19thnews breaks down what the ruling does and doesn't cover, and how it might affect medical care for trans youth across the U.S.

In March, the state of Utah passed a law[1] restricting which flags could be flown by city councils. This stopped the council of Salt Lake City from flying the pride, trans, and Juneteenth flags.
One of the kinds of flag allowed by the new law is an official city flag. Therefore, Salt Lake City has just introduced three new flags, which are the three flags just mentioned with a sago lily in the corner.[2].
