So much for 'born that way'
American teens are becoming straight again, with - especially - female bisexuality in sharp retreat in the youngest cohorts.

These figures come from Census ACS 2023, and KFF/ACS rate table and appear to be correct. I've corrected for which groups use SNAP & Medicaid more or less than the national average, and which groups pay a larger or smaller share of federal income tax than their share of the population.
Good lord this is embarrassing

impossible standards = not stealing other peoples work, not lying. The weight of being a black person must be overwhelming
The tragic death of Professor Jason Arday forces us to confront the impossible standards placed on Black people and their devastating consequences.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The Telegraph identified more than 100 examples of identical or near identical wording between a Paula Zwozdiak-Myers thesis and Jason Arday's thesis. Avoiding plagiarism is a minimum standard, not an impossible standard, for academics.

Behold 'The Economist'
Of the main gang of six pups, some critics note, only one is a girl, whose outfit and even eyes are pink. Worse, the top dog is a police pup, so the whole thing is pro-police “copaganda” economist.com/culture/2026/0…

Through my research of the 1,000 plus athletes I've looked at for the HeCheated.org website, I've observed four main groups of men and boys who pretend to be women and play women's sports.
1. Classic autogynephiles. These are men who pretend to be women in their late 30s, their 40s, and their 50s. They usually are already married to women and have children.
They often have played sports in high school on boys' teams, maybe even in college, but are now well past their prime. Even so, they still succeed against women much younger than themselves, for example, Gavin "Laurel" Hubbard making the Olympics in his 40s and Fabrizio "Valentina" Petrillo in the Italian track scene.
You won't see these men in the WNBA because, again, they are in their 40s and might not have picked up a ball in 20 years.
You will see them winning masters championships and breaking masters world records.
