Though Megan Thee Stallion’s Legendary tenure came to a close in season two, her propensity to serve it up lives on.The music video for her new track, “Her”, is a love letter to the girls.

Supreme Court's decision, the state asked the 11th Circuit to overturn a partial injunction to the Alabama Vulnerable Child Compassion and Protection Act.

Twitter to adding the title.This felt like a massive win, and proof that my campaigning for non-binary inclusivity is working.Argos were actually the brand who inadvertently started my campaign, Include Mx, which made the moment particularly special. The campaign celebrates brands that include the gender-neutral title Mx, and encourages those that don’t, to add the title.I did this because, back in the fairly early days of the pandemic – when we all started relying more heavily on online delivery of household items – I had to buy some bits from Argos.

politics and the media.While the issue is furiously litigated on social media, the organisation he runs, the Albert Kennedy Trust (AKT), works on the ground every day to help those whose stories are often overlooked.Trans issues have fuelled debate in activist and academic quarters for a long time but 2022 looks set to be the year it goes fully mainstream.Under Boris Johnson, the gender debate has become politicised, from the stripping of trans protections from the ‘conversion therapies’ bill, to his jibes over Sir Keir Starmer’s ‘struggle to define what a woman is’.From major sports bodies adopting new gender policies, to high-profile interventions from national figures like J.

non-binary. Growing up I knew that I wasn’t a boy, and it seemed quite apparent to me from an early age that being a girl resonated far more. I came out as a trans woman at age 17, which was over ten years ago, and the term non-binary wasn’t nearly as commonly known as it is now. While being a woman is something that’s always fitted me best, being non-binary is also something that I deeply connect to, as I have never experienced my gender in a simple, clear cut way. So for me it’s a complex relationship, but it makes me so happy that society is opening up to different ways of seeing gender.That’s why I’m happy we have things like non-binary awareness week this week, which is where we give focus and voice to non-binary people and encourage people to learn more and hear the stories of non-binary people. Being non-binary simply means identifying outside of the gender binary of men and women — it means that you can experience your gender as a mix of both, neither or fluid in between.Growing up, I wish there had been a lot more awareness about the term ‘non-binary’ because it would’ve undoubtedly helped me and other people come to terms with our identities sooner.

Peter Debruge Chief Film CriticKelsa, the protagonist of Billy Porter’s “Anything’s Possible,” played by Eva Reign, has already dealt with most of the tough obstacles to claiming her identity as a trans girl: She admitted it to herself, she told her mom (a ferociously supportive Renée Elise Goldsberry), she took the blockers and the hormones, and she went back to the same school where people had previously known her as a boy. She doesn’t like it when people call her “brave” (which is what her new name means, incidentally), but she had to be to do all that.Now Kelsa just wants to blend in and be an “average” girl, even if the film she carries is a sparkling celebration of in-your-face individuality. The truth is, Kelsa’s denying herself a huge part of the average high school experience by avoiding things — like falling in love — that she anticipates being unusually complicated for someone in her position.
