When the Cass Review came out last year, the NYT rushed to cover it complete with post notifications. After reviews in Germany and Utah came out supporting gender affirming care for trans youth, dead silence. You can be just as biased in what you don't cover as what you do.

The horrors persist but so does research. Extremely embarrassing question for Norse folks: I know snakes/serpents are used as euphemisms for the penis in ON, but where? The best thing I can come up with is Hrútr in Nj. who 'launches wound-snakes'... other examples? #medievalsky

The UK supreme court today ruled that the terms ‘woman’ and ‘sex’ in the Equality Act refer to biological sex. Trump's Executive Order 14168, issued on 20 January, similarly proclaims to be ‘Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government’. Judith Butler: www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

We're disappointed to see Ben Barres's powerful book "The Autobiography of a Transgender Scientist" among the ~400 titles removed from the Naval Academy Library. Needless to say, we're proud to have published his book and will keep it — and his memory — alive.
