School and community groups can provide valuable support and build resilience for LGBTQ+ youth. Researchers found that LGBTQ students who were victimized or had depressive symptoms were less likely to binge drink if they participated in Gender and Sexualities Alliances (GSAs) than their peers who did not participate in such clubs.

"The Republican Party has shown consistently that not only does it refuse to address the issues young people care about, but they are actively seeking to roll back our rights.
The Democratic Party and President Biden, on the other hand, have proven they will deliver for young people."

Minors in Texas faced a range of barriers to finding accurate info & obtaining confidential contraceptive services, which were exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Expanding options for accessible confidential contraception, along with repealing parental consent laws, would better support minors' reproductive autonomy.

‘If we fail to support our #LGBTQ+ #youth now, they will face #devastating #consequences’.
#Growingup #LGBTQ+ is still #unacceptably #tough, finds #JustLikeUs’ new #report, #positivefutures
I've just observed a mildly interesting/ puzzling behaviour across 3 generations now.
I first saw it in my mates, then in my stepson & his mates, and now in the young lad across the road & his mates.
Young male, new owner of a car, buys some wheel covers.
They open the packaging, take out and admire the plastic round bits. Another male finds the circular wires (which act as springs to hold the wheel covers on), shrugs, and throws them away, or into the garbage.
Discussion ensues about how to mount the wheel covers, why they don't seem very secure and whether they should be taken back to the shop.
If the driver resists going for an immediate show-off drive because of their concern about the tenuous mounting, either:
a) someone (usually a 3rd person) finally wonders about the spring wires they saw someone else looking at,
or
b) someone goes and gets zip ties.
Just wondering why a person would decide to discard something which came as part of someone else's accessories, and why they don't think it might be useful or necessary. 🤔🤦♂️
Sometimes I wonder which will destroy us first: climate change or fascism.

In Spanien fragt der Kellner, wenn man in größerer Runde zusammensitzt und bezahlt werden soll, „la cuenta o la cuenta aleman“. „Cuenta aleman“, die deutsche Rechnung, bedeutet, dass jeder für sich alleine zahlt. Das ist in Spanien oder Italien nicht üblich, da zahlt einer, die deutsche Lesart gilt als schäbig.

In addition, Edsall reports that young voters are trending more Democratic and progressive.
So why have Democrats not attained majority status? The answer, scholars Edsall consulted tell him, is white backlash. The more whites and Christians recede as the dominant group in the population, the stronger their backlash, and their determination to use the Republican party to stop change.

Valuable article for pointing out that trans-panic legislation will also victimize a lot of non-trans kids, but paragraphs like this one go to far by suggesting that there's a really real reason for the crusade, wholly distinct from transphobia. The people bringing these bills are perfectly capable of wanting to control kids and marginalize trans people at the same time. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/anti-trans-moral-panics-endanger-all-young-people/ #USPol #transRights #youth
"As the demographics turn increasingly against the GOP, the right move for the Republicans would be to adjust their policies to win voters back. But they seem uniquely incapable of doing this. Instead, they are doubling down on the policies most disfavored by these voters, such as abortion bans, attacks on LGBTQs, climate denialism and firearm free-for-alls."
Jay Kuo discusses studies showing why the much-touted "red wave" failed to materialze in the mid-terms and the Republican response:
"When we see women and youth voters registering and turning out in record numbers, that isn’t a flash in the pan. Voters who get engaged in politics tend to stay engaged. The GOP understands this, so it is desperate to keep young people, minorities and women from fully exercising the franchise."

#Jewish #youth #groups in #Pittsburgh began #protesting the treatment of Soviet Jews as early as January 1967. The Pittsburgh Youth Council for Soviet Jewry emerged in late 1967 or 1968 to better coordinate the work of these groups.

The link to George Takei's petition to Biden is below.
"Republicans are using the trans community as a political punching bag. Some have even called for eradication of transgender Americans. This is fascist speak, and we must do everything in our power to stop it.
I hope you will join me to urge the Biden Administration to undertake every effort to block these dangerous laws."
"The GOP is on an all-out crusade against the trans community. Red states have weaponized their gerrymandered supermajorities to pass laws outlawing gender-affirming care. This care is considered safe, effective, and medically necessary by major professional health associations, including the American Medical Association. The laws overrule parents and strip their kids of critical healthcare."

"On April 24, the Personal Information Protection Commission (PIPC) launched the “Eraser Service” pilot project, also known as the "Right to Be Forgotten Pilot Project for Children and Adolescents" to provide digital natives, specifically children and adolescents, with greater control over personal information. With this new service, children and adolescents who want to delete posts they made when they were younger can now conveniently do so."

18 of 20 charged with #trespassing at the #Kentucky #StateLegislature after #protests from #SB150 plead #notguilty. The remaining 2 have not yet had their court date.
#Legislators are “using their #power to #hurt #trans #youth rather than addressing the #issues actually affecting #working #kentuckians"

It will also plaster recruiting solicitations across Instagram, Snapchat, streaming television, and music apps. The documents note that “TikTok is banned for official DOD use (to include advertising)""

#Bill seeking to get #homeless #trans #youth into #shelters passed by #Washington #statehouse
It passed along party lines, with #Democrats favoring the bill as a way to protect #trans #youth without supportive homes, allowing them to get into #Homeless #shelters without fear their Unsupportive parents would know about it.

"The last decade has seen Republicans grow increasingly driven by evangelical politics, often in direct opposition to the views held by a growing majority of young Americans. Hardline abortion bans, anti-LGBTQ+ legislation, and various morality laws—including online pornography restrictions and book bans—have overtaken the austerity politics and hawkish foreign policy that steered past iterations of the party."

#TransJoy is an #actofdefiance and #power
Everyone needs to see #examples of #parents #accepting their #trans #children, #trans #youth #graduating from #college, #nonbinary #people #working in their chosen fields, and #workplaces providing #supportive #environments.
They need to see #trans #people falling in #love, going on #vacation, having #children and owning #dogs. They need to #witness #trans people #hiking, going to the #gym and playing on #sports teams.

#Trans and #Nonbinary #Youth Say Their #HealthCare Shouldn’t Be Up for “#Debate”
“The people who have the strongest opinions often know the least,” said Colt St. Amand, a physician and psychologist who specializes in gender-affirming care for trans and nonbinary youth.

@funnymonkey Add - The society we've created for young people obliges them to take on tens of thousands of debt for a degree or diploma to have any hope of being able to get a job that supports them while at the same time embracing a capitalist economic system designed to distribute as little money out of the economy to a working middle class as possible. #usa #canada #youth #StudentLoanCrises #capitalism
As Nigeria prepares for the 25 February presidential elections, it’s interesting to consider what young Nigerians are expecting.
There are plenty of them: 52.2 million people aged 18-35. That’s about 28% of Nigeria’s total population and more than the entire populations of Ghana and Benin Republic put together. In spite of the prospects that this number holds, young people in Nigeria are largely marginalised from governance.

#WesternCape road trip, day 3
Started the day with a #SummerSolstice hike.
It’s still the quiet desolation that caught my eye, but a lot happens below these arid hills.
There is life and promise here.
Like the doctor we met on our hike - fresh out of Stellenbosch medical school and happily working in the town hospital.
Or the local young man who’s just opened his own bakery on the main street.
Little stories of perseverance and hope 🇿🇦
