Terms to know: Gender identity, sexual orientation and more
The 2023 Texas legislative session introduced dozens of bills that threaten the LGBTQIA+ community, including many seeking to outlaw or curtail care for trans youth in Texas. Last year, Gov. Greg Abbott ordered the state child welfare agency to investigate families whose children have received gender-affirming health care. Additionally, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton issued a written opinion defining gender-affirming care as child abuse under state laws.
How Roman de Silence speaks to today’s debate on gender identity
The modern-day debate about gender identity can take some lessons from a 13th-century story. Researchers at the University of Warwick worked with a professional storyteller to bring Roman de Silence to new audiences. In 1911, a box marked ‘old papers – no value’ was discovered in Wollaton Hall, an Elizabethan house in Nottingham, England. Alongside letters from King Henry VII a manuscript was found inside. Within its pages was Roman de Silence, a French medieval romance.
What it means to be skoliosexual
The dating world can be challenging to navigate; its terrain is full of landmines. Some of them, like bros with dead animal trophies, can be avoided swiftly and easily. Just swipe left. Staying informed about the nuanced descriptors of gender expression and sexual orientation, however, can take a little more effort. Skoliosexuality is an identity that was new to me when I started dating again a few years ago, and its definition is a bit amorphous, so it’s worth examination from experts and insight from people within the community.

June Pride parades are approaching, which means it’s time to refresh your knowledge of the many Pride flags that exist. It’s more than the classic rainbow flag – there are variations that represent the vastness of the LGBTQ+ community.
The Conservative Case for Teaching About 'Gender Identity'
When the Florida legislature passed the Parental Rights in Education Act last year, the corporate media went ballistic. But as Americans began to see through the stilted headlines about the so-called "Don't Say Gay" bill, they scratched their heads and became disturbed by how eager many seemed to defend teaching gender identity to kids in grades K-3.
In the debate over gender identity and sports, roller derby seems to have it figured out
Roller derby is a fast-paced contact sport played on four-wheeled skates. To outsiders, it can seem to be a mostly women’s game, but derby itself is not so binary. While the country is in political turmoil over gender and sports, roller derby has had it figured out for a while. Inside the Mesa Broadway Recreation Center, roller skates pound and screech across the hardwood floor. The athletes wearing them are blocking, pushing and doing whatever they can to get the point. This is roller derby. More specifically, this is the Arizona All-Stars travel team versus the SoCal Derby Kraken. (Spoiler alert — the locals win.)
Keke Palmer Opens Up About Her Sexuality, Gender Identity
Keke Palmer has been famous for a long time, entertaining audiences since she was a child star. When a celebrity is in the public eye for that long, we think we know almost everything about them. However, the Nope actress recently revealed a very personal part of herself and in the process, may have helped others understand themselves a little better. According to Variety, on Saturday, while accepting the Vanguard Award at the LGBT Center’s The Gala in Los Angeles, Keke discussed her feelings on sexuality and gender identity.
What's up with the obsession over other people's gender identity?
With all the issues we face, from our children’s rotting teeth to global warming, one might think that gender-critical activism is not on the critical list. The queerest thing about the provocateurs and their embraced offence is the crew who line up to sail with them. The far-right, fundamentalist Christians, anti-vaxxers, neo-fascists, and even neo-Nazis have been drawn to the siren song of "gender expression." What forces unite these disparate groups' current cultish obsession with gender identity and expression?
Florida bans teaching of gender identity and sexual orientation through 12th grade
Florida’s state education board voted Wednesday to ban teaching students about sexual orientation and gender identity through high school, expanding the scope of a contentious state law that last year thrust Gov. Ron DeSantis to the forefront of the cultural clash over classrooms.
Stop Setting Dylan Mulvaney – and All Trans People – Up to Fail
Unless you live on TikTok, the chances are you had no idea who Dylan Mulvaney was until relatively recently. It feels as though she’s suddenly inescapable, and that’s not by her design. In the ceaseless cycle of faux-culture wars and the ongoing war against trans people, Mulvaney has become the latest in a depressingly long line of targets who symbolize a vast community of marginalized voices.
Gender identity can be fluid, not just confined to restrictive labels
It feels like everyone assumes I have it figured out. It is an understandable conclusion; I have been pretty open about my queer identity during my last two years here at Syracuse University. Therefore, the logical assumption would be that I have a complete understanding of myself and my identity.
