Madonna's surprise new single has taken the queer community by storm, showcasing her continued relevance and ability to connect with fans through her music.

The video starts with Cher's son, Chaz Bono, who is transgender and recently got married. However, the video then changes to show a before photo of 'Jennifer Coolidge' as a man; that then morphs into a picture of Trace Lysette, who bears absolutely no resemblance to Coolidge whatsoever.

For decades, work was designed around a fiction, that of the 'neutral' worker, an abstract individual assumed to be fully available, consistent, rational, and unaffected by bodily constraints. But this neutrality was never real.

Hite learned early on that women walk a sexual tightrope: 'If you had too much sex, you could be shunned like her mother was; if you didn't have enough, you could be deserted like her grandmother.'

Since the 1990s, a largely underground upwelling of trans creativity has helped new trans identities, communities, and political movements come together. Trans Cinema provides an entryway to the wildly diverse and creative cinema made by trans creators, including those who are BIPOC.

In Ladies First, Sacha Baron Cohen portrays an advertising executive who wakes up in a world where women dominate, leading to humorous situations and challenges.

The court has not endorsed discrimination against trans women, and it has not decided whether the exemption should be granted. It has simply identified legal errors in the tribunal's reasoning, so the matter must now be reconsidered.

The deeper I go, the more feminist I become! Yet my experience of academic philosophy has largely disclosed the opposite: a discipline that solemnly declares its devotion to openness proves curiously unsettled by me as a woman.

Here I am fighting the battle to keep biological men out of women's sports because it's not right... and I want to protect women. I started thinking what a hypocrite I am, trying to keep biological men out of women's sports, but I'm a biological man, and they gave me Glamour's Woman of the Year award.

According to the complaint, Venzon's conduct - which allegedly included making jokes about transgender bodies - happened both in private meetings and among colleagues, creating a hostile working environment for Goldsmith.

On the page, we have total control - we see what's happening inside the character's mind, the narrative is designed to have a safe outcome, and there are no real-world repercussions.

Art is always political. As the white friend at this event, I'm gonna go ahead and say to the women who look like me - to the men who look like me - it's incredibly important to remember that so much of what we love in America comes from Black culture. White people need to show up for Black people the way they show up to be entertained by Black culture.

In this episode of Galaxy Brain, Charlie Warzel confronts the growing crisis around AI-generated sexual abuse and the culture of impunity enabling it. He examines how Elon Musk's chatbot Grok is being used to create and circulate nonconsensual sexualized images often targeting women. Warzel lays out why this moment represents a red line for the internet: It is a test of whether society will tolerate tools that silence women through humiliation and intimidation under the guise of free speech.

We were so happy to see Alysa Liu win the gold medal in Milan yesterday. My husband just showed me that in 2019 she skated to my song Don't Rain on My Parade. I'm so proud of her. Don't Rain on my Parade is the song Streisand made famous in the Broadway musical, Funny Girl, and in its 1968 film adaptation, for which she won the Academy Award for best actress.

Putting on makeup. Like, we're supposed to disguise ourselves; otherwise, people think we didn't take this outing seriously, didn't care enough, or didn't act professionally.
