Based on Takako Shimura’s manga of the same name, Hourou Musuko tells the story of Shuuichi Nitori, a trans girl who was assigned male at birth, and Yoshino Takatsuki, a trans boy who was born a girl. This anime is a coming-of-age story following their time in elementary school, as they navigate puberty and society’s expectations for them. To say that queer stories aren’t a new thing is accurate, but it also buries the lede considerably, considering the amount of queer-positive messages that were either suppressed, censored, or denied....
Trump issued an order in October 2020, the month before the presidential election, which established a new employment category for federal workers called “Schedule F.” Under this category, individuals working in jobs tied to “policy-determining, policy-making, or policy-advocating” would lose protections, including due process rights, which prevent them from being easily fired when a new administration takes office. That order effectively eliminated civil service employment protection for federal employees that had been in place for more than 135 years....
