“We don’t need to be treated like children,” one tourist fumed about Trump bullying museums to rewrite history and erase transgender people from exhibits.
Artist Mary Catherine Starr illustrates some frustrating parenting double standards that still exist today.
“When I glanced up, cheeks burning with embarrassment from my nakedness, I found Adam fully absorbed elsewhere.”
Similar legislation is in place in several states, but this reportedly marks the first instance in which a teacher has lost their job over it.

The vice president faced ridicule for suggesting that "masculinity" has been under attack. An expert breaks down why his remarks are harmful.

The order, which the president signed Monday evening, comes after a yearslong GOP effort to fearmonger about transgender people in the U.S.
