<p>When Jessye DeSilva received a letter from the State Department requesting proof of citizenship and her “biological sex at birth,” she felt “as though [she] broke.” Earlier in this year, the Boston folk artist had filed to change the gender marking on her passport to reflect her identity as a trans woman.

Danzig just wrapped up a run of shows. At one (or more) of the shows, fans spotted a merch t-shirt that appeared to have an SS "sun wheel" on it, with a cartoon Danzig in the foreground. Notably, the sun wheel itself dates back to pre-history. However, the specific sun wheel used on the merch is the German "black sun" wheel, which is a link of Schutzstaffel "S's" which then form a circle.

<p>When it comes to confronting anyone who discriminates against transgender youth, Evan Greer and Ryan Cassata ask one simple question: “What the fuck is wrong with you?” It’s a line that remains on repeat throughout the artists’ new collaboration “Protect Trans Kids (WTFIWWY),” and for good reason. The tune is an urgent rallying cry to support transgender kids — who, in case anyone has forgotten, are still kids, and deserve privacy and basic childhood experiences as much as anyone. “Let […]</p>
