The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality.

And trans lives are grounded in reality.

We see y'all. No matter what.

First-of-a-kind study shows encouraging data for trans kids who socially transition
Ninety-four percent of participants in a new study stood firm in their trans identity after five years, and "detransitioning" is rare.

Virginia Heffernan wrote this shortly after the 2016 election and it still holds true
THIS is what makes my head spin: The president is not a moral figure in any idiom, any land, any culture, any subculture. I'm not talking about the liberal enlightenment that would make him want the country to take care of the poor and sick. I mean he has no Republican values either. He has no honor among thieves, no cosa nostra loyalty, no Southern code against cheating or lying, none of the openness of New York, rectitude of Boston, expressiveness and kindness of California, no evangelical family values, no Protestant work ethic. No Catholic moral seriousness, no sense of contrition or gratitude. No Jewish moral and intellectual precision, sense of history. He doesn't care about the life of the mind OR the life of the senses. He is not mandarin, not committed to inquiry or justice, not hospitable. He is not proper. He is not a bon vivant who loves to eat, drink, laugh. There's nothing he would die for - not American values, obviously, but not the land of Russia or his wife or young son. He has some hollow success creeds from Norman Vincent Peale, but Peale was obsessed with fair-dealing and a Presbyterian pastor; Trump has no fairness or piety. He's not sentimental; no affection for dogs or babies. No love for mothers, "the common man"" veterans. He has no sense of military valor, and is openly a coward about war. He would have sorely lacked the pagan beauty and capacity to fight required in ancient Greece. He doesn't care about his wife or wives; he is a philanderer but he's not a romantic hero with great love for women and sex. He commands loyalty and labor from his children not because he loves them, even; he seems almost to hate them — and if one of them slipped it would be terrifying. He does no philanthropy. He doesn't - in a more secular key - even seem to have a sense of his enlightened self-interest enough to shake Angela Merkel's hand. Doesn't even affect a love for the arts, like most rich New Yorkers. He doesn't live and die by aesthetics and health practices like some fascists; he's very ugly and barely mammalian. Am I missing an obscure moral system to which he so much as nods? Also are there other people, living or dead, like him?

apple? pumpkin? *haughty laugh* pecan pie? all of them mere treats for younglings, and yet you care for them even in your exile. the galaxy balances on the edge of a vibroblade and yet you still find time to engage in aimless confectionary sophistry. you, my student, are a puzzle

I simply do not understand why people look at betting markets as any sort of indicator other than what a bunch of gambling addicts are guessing based on the same info we have access to. One of Nate Silver's most pernicious little legacies.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

What happens when you distill 2025 into a single social media post?

This.

This is what you get.
X Post by Michael Adams, Kentucky Secretary of State: "We’re getting calls about polls being closed. They are closed because we do not have elections today. Kentucky votes next year. You cannot vote today in Kentucky for the mayor of New York City or the Governor of Virginia. Sorry."

secure the perimeter
Interivew with Carl Reiner and mel brooks about their friendship: REINER Yeah, we got that big screen [gestures to incredibly large flat-screen monitor] to look at television. Q. So you come here, Mel, and you watch TV together? BROOKS Almost every night. He’s got a wonderful housekeeper-cook and we decide on a menu and a movie. Q. What did you watch most recently? BROOKS We watched last night “The Peacemaker.” With Nicole Kidman and, come on. [He gestures to Mr. Reiner.] REINER George Clooney. BROOKS Right. It was two and a half stars at the most. Good performances, very silly, you know. REINER We look for movies with the line “Secure the perimeter.” BROOKS Yeah, we like movies that say, “Secure the perimeter” and/or “You better get some rest.” REINER “Lock all doors!” BROOKS “I want a five-block seal!”
