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.

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.

Each time a site goes down, it's a win for me. Hopefully this guy never tries to get them up and running again.

“Free world” leaders are effectively saying: we only support the ICC when it goes after people we don’t like.
What's the point if the "free world" leaders are moving heaven & Earth to stop the ICC from doing what it was established to do? Where does one go from here if we're facing yet another failed mechanism to seek accountability? What chances have we got of ever fighting back? We're back to the gutter.

Actually, that's been happening to us people from this part of the world for upwards of a decade. We have to hand over all social media accounts and got asked to make them all public even under Obama.
Mandatory social media disclosure and surveillance “has not proven effective at finding terrorists and other bad guys,” EFF’s Sophia Cope told @NYTimes.com. “But it has chilled the free speech and invaded the privacy of innocent travelers” and Americans, too.
