This Puerto Rican School is Relaxing Its Dress Code for LGBT Kids

Children enrolled in public schools across Puerto Rico can now opt to wear pants or skirts, regardless of their gender identity. At this moment I really wish I could find one of the many photographs of me enrolled in school in Puerto Rico wearing a plaid skirt and a collared shirt because I just think it’d be a really good visual for this story that would connect you to my past, but I can’t do that, so.

Barbie Wants You to Be Whatever You Wanna Be

Look, I know the word “Barbie” can evoke a wide range of responses from women, queer people, feminists, and really anything that’s live and able / willing to discuss gender politics. But growing up, my Barbie collection served as a solid reminder that I could do anything and become anyone I wanted: growing up to be elected president, kicking men out of the house and speeding away in a shiny new VW Beetle, and baring my sexy abs at the grocery store as I juggled my priorities as a doctor / teacher / lawyer included.  (All of these dreams, obviously, have or will soon come true.)

What I’m trying to say is that that I really like this Barbie ad and I hope you will, too. Let’s watch it!

The Substance Abuse and Mental Helath Services Administration has released a report backing up claims that the practice is dangerous and harmful. That means hard numbers! And data! And fancy words! And thus, an even more solid case to force everyone to perceive the practice as junk science and total garbage. Whee!
