In HS, I used the boy's room a couple of times. I was at a stage in my journey where I would rather get a UTI than be in the girl's room. Full on panic attack and sobbing mess type situation. Male teacher followed me in, reported me, and I was then unable to use either... Momma got involved.
A trans man in the UK has been banned in the workplace restrooms after he was forced to use the women's restrooms to comply with the new EHRC guidance. The women complained because he is visibly male and so they told him he can't use any bathroom.
![A screenshot of a Reddit post from the r/LegalAdviceUK subreddit by user Dijstraanon, titled "FtM transgender facing two different issues at work? England."
The post text reads:
"Brother in law is trans FtM and presents fully as a man. He's now facing an impossible situation at work with his employer telling him that due to recent legislation he must use the toilet of his birth gender. BUT several female colleagues have raised a grievance about him using their gendered toilet.
His employer has told him that he cannot use the toilet while he is at work until they sort it out and cannot give him a timeframe to do so. They do [cut off] have disabled separate toilets.
In the mean time one of his female colleagues has accused him of sexual harassment because he was used their gendered toilet. His menstrual cycle meant he needed to use the toilet.
He's been with the employer for just over 5 years but only in this location for 18 months. The location is mainly male with just a handful of females, and his workshop only has male toilets.
I do not know how to support him and as he's not in a union there is no one to turn too right now."

20 states + DC have sued Trump admin over severe cuts to ESA wildlife protections. The first lawsuit asks to strike down a new rule that degrading the habitat of an endangered species would no longer be illegal. Habitat loss/degradation is a major cause of wildlife extinction.

This is a phenomenal effort by Luc, Adam, and the rest of the Scripps team, and CA needs to (1) continue to fund regular coast-wide data collection, and (2) expand its spatial scope inland to include estuaries (the survey footprint is only about ~500 ft wide, focused on beaches/bluffs).
🌊 Scripps Oceanography scientists are taking to the skies to better understand California's changing coastlines. Learn more about the COAST survey led by the Scripps Air-Sea Interaction Lab: https://airsea.ucsd.edu/fieldwork/coast/

Conservation’s Blind Spot: Why Language Matters for Biodiversity
To those who don't care that rural communities have data centers in their back yards: I want you to operate a wood chipper (with proper PPE!) for a 9 hour shift and tell me how the droning mechanized metal-wobble makes you feel. You will feel it after about an hour.
