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.

I'm not a fan of petitions and largely don't think they lead to meaningful action, but if my rantings about transphobia in pinball have resonated with you at all, there's a petition you can sign here. The IFPA's a small enough organization that they might take notice, at least. c.org/KZCW7hLNhM
