Trans Hate Affects Cis Women Too. Top Story - August 2024.
I have too many Trans friends to have expected better from the world media, but somehow, I'm still disappointed. Trans people, whether transitioned or not, whether they identify as male or female, attract a lot of undeserved hate. What genitalia a person has is between them and their sexual partners and is, legally speaking, none of Joe or Jane Public's business.

Treasure
For seemingly forever, individuals have been interested in the fantasy of hiding their fortune. Stories of stowed away wealth and covered gold have ignited broad investigation endeavors everywhere, from the Middle East's deserts to the Caribbean Ocean. One way or another, where precisely is the gold? This trip takes us through outdated guides, puzzling signs, and the narratives of swashbucklers who meandered into the neglected world.

Letters to Queer Youth Challenge Winners
When I was growing up, I knew that I was different from those around me. I was a “tomboy” who secretly thought I looked so pretty in dresses. I never understood how girls around found guys hot, yet I wanted to be one. Sometimes I’d wear my dad’s button-down shirts, or pack. And sometimes I loved getting my hair done. I strived to find where I fit into, and yet my existence was always fluid. If only I knew that was okay, normal, valid.

The Law of Attraction. You have probably heard so much about this already. Maybe you have watched The Secret (Dare to Dream)? Maybe you’ve heard every celebrity and successful person you know of talking about the very same formula. (If not - start with Jim Carey and the story about him asking for a hike as a kid. Then look up Helen Hadsell. Then perhaps J-Lo, Oprah Winfrey, Jennifer Anniston… they all openly discuss this. Athletes, Olympic medalists and their trainers… the list is endless.

Forever Loved
Pen a letter of support to 2SLGBTQ+ youth Dear You, I didn't know when I held your tiny body to mine that life would be unfair, unkind, a struggle or cruel. Not for you. Not for you. My world swirled in rainbows from the day you were mine, nothing else mattered other than you being happy.

Where's Your Pride Vocal?
I have had the privilege to be able to be an out queer and genderfluid person in most of my spaces. My wife and I are accepted and loved by the people in our lives. Our rights as a same-sex couple are protected. And even more so, I've been able to support and empower queer youth in their identities. Even in the Arctic.

What They Don't Tell You About Testosterone
This article discusses anatomy and needles. Hi, I'm Danny, and I've been on testosterone for two and a half years. When I met with my doctor in early 2022, I was taught the basics of testosterone replacement: how to do it, what it will change, and things to look out for. But like many transmasculine folks, I just took the doctor's word instead of doing my own research - and this means that I was greeted by many unexpected things during my transition journey. I wouldn't change anything, of course. With all the new information I've learned since starting testosterone two years ago, I think it'd be helpful to share with others who are just beginning their journey, or who just have an interest in being a better ally.

My Journey to Peace
My Excursion to Harmony: Conquering Forlornness and Embracing Confinement The quiet used to be a stunning thunder. It reverberated in the vacant spaces of my loft, a consistent sign of the isolation that stuck to me like a subsequent skin. Depression wasn't simply an inclination; it was a presence, a significant burden on my chest that gagged the delight out of life.
