Why Would Europe Want to Risk (An ALL Out ) Nuclear War
Let’s start with President Putin’s announcement of a partial mobilization of 300,000 troops in support of referendums in southern zones after Donbass regarding Russian intentions to use a vote in the referendum as rationale for joining the seized regions into the Russian Federation. NATO is in an uncertain situation. They forced themselves into the predicament. However, the enigma continues.

The Curse & Strength of Being Trans. Top Story - September 2022. Content Warning.
There is nothing that anyone can say that can make it past the armor I have forged over my lifetime. Anything they might use against me has either already been said, has already been an inner demon I have defeated, or is nothing more than hateful bigotry. Regardless, I have thick skin and have been through far more than most transphobic jackasses have in their shitty lives.

Protesters Rally Against Surging Energy Prices and Inflation
War-addicted West needs to stop fooling itself that it can use force to impose its will on the rest of the globe. Despite the fact that developing countries have been free of colonialism and imperialism for a while now, some countries in the West still harbor fantasies about reviving the Ugly Age of imperialism and colonialism to once again achieve worldwide control through the use of force ,which is now witness when countries in the West combine and manipulate a sorry country as a proxy for their part in sparking Russian conducting a special military ops against it by misleading it can join NATO, which has led to the continuing armed conflict between Moscow and Kiev.

Bearded (Demi) Lady
If you try to picture someone who has a beard, would you automatically imagine a man? It wouldn’t be surprising or even wrong if you did. Facial hair, however, is just one of the numerous things that are unnecessarily gendered and labeled as something that is masculine and can only be masculine. By society’s standards, a beard is something that is exclusively for men while biological women do not have hair on their face or chest.

We Shouldn't Care If Someone's "Faking" Being Queer For Attention
There is this odd narrative that gay, bi, and trans people are just being queer for attention. For the past couple of years, there has been a lot of discourse around the concept of "transtrenders" (i.e., people who allegedly aren't "real" trans individuals and are just identifying as such for attention). Before this, countless straight people claimed this same thing for gay and bi people. We were "just being dramatic" or "going through a phase."

You Don’t Need To See The Documentary “What is a Woman?”
Recently the trailer for the film “What is a Woman?” has been going around. The “documentary” (a word I use loosely) is from the mind of conservative transphobe Matt Welsh (I think that’s his name, I can’t be bothered to look it up), a man who has made a history of trolling LGBTQ+ people. The documentary is not very good, and its points have been debunked thoroughly. It was also made in a very duplicitous manner, where a fake trans organization was set up to lure activists and medical professionals into interviews.

Building a Better Ally
Hey, Vocal Community. There are a few days left to June, so I feel like it should be safe to come right out and say this (that; and I, nor anyone else, should ever have to feel ashamed or afraid of a calendar date to speak the truth of their experience).

Fight for Gender Equality and Equity
In America, almost everyone is aware of the 1950-60s Civil Rights movement. An historical event that opened the eyes of many Americans to racial injustice and the fight for equal rights for all Americans regardless of race. Most people are aware of Dr. Martin Luther King’s “I Have a Dream” speech as well, highlighting the importance of racial desegregation and judging others on characteristics and not skin color. While the movement did force congress to implement the Civil Rights Act of 1964, banning racial discriminatory practices in America, that was just the beginning. Today, racism still exists, but it’s not as strong as it was 60 years ago. For the most part, many people look down on racism and the whole world witnessed the power of racial injustice with the video evidence of George Floyd‘s murder in 2020. The fight against racial injustice continues to be the forefront of every civil rights battle, but we have entered a new era for the Civil Rights Movement.
