From Sociological Images, Teen and Transgender Comparative Study, an art installation by Charlie White at the Hammer Museum in L.A.

The Advocate Joins in Transphobic Media: "It was bad enough when the New York Post ran the transphobic article "Wedding Crashers" which erroneously describes a trans woman and her cis male partner, Kimah Nelson and Jason Stenson, as a gay couple and how they "duped" the government into giving them a same-sex marriage. But then the Advocate repeated the story uncritically parroting the same anti-trans message. After some complaints, they've removed the male pronouns referring to Kimah but rather than replacing them with female pronouns they opted for no pronouns." Also covered by The Curvature.

Yay for Copley Square Farmers Market!
