This weekâs column discusses various pressing issues, including the Pope's death, significant legal cases affecting the LGBTQ+ community, and bans on transgender individuals using public bathrooms. Amid these serious topics, humor is also present, particularly through references to celebrity news such as Kristen Stewart's marriage. Additionally, there's commentary on gendered language, using the term 'materteral' to highlight biases while reflecting on a scandal involving a former Senate staffer. The author navigates between heavy topics and lighter anecdotes, capturing the week's complexities.
"The Pope has died, the High Court is considering a GLBT case, and Trump has sued the state of Maine over transgender athletes, among other pressing issues."
"I recoiled at the word 'materteral' and only used it in order to tell you about it as it shows the gender biases in language."
