Trans TikTok Influencer Allegedly Murdered by Her Boyfriend In Florida As we transition from our week of trans awareness, we mourn the loss of Girlalala, a 21 year-old TikTok trans influencer. Girlalala was found in a car with gunshot wounds afflicted by her boyfriend Shanoyd Whyte Jr according to authorities. Whyte confessed to the authorities that an argument had begun in the car and that he pulled out a firearm, but refused to go into any greater detail.
This Week In Politics
A Judge sides with Trans Kids in Philadelphia We have a victory for trans youth in Philadelphia as a federal judge sided against the department of justice’s request for access to medical records of children who underwent gender-affirming care at a children’s hospital. U.S. District Court Judge Mark A. Kearney sided with the children’s hospital of Philadelphia.The city of Boston had a similar win back in September as U.S. federal Judge Myong J. Joun blocked a subpoena sent by the Department of Justice to Boston’s Children’s hospital.
It’s World AIDS Day to everyone but the Trump Administration December 1st has been known as World AIDS day since its conception in 1988. It has been a day honored world wide, however this year, the Trump administration has decided to not observe World AIDS day this year. This is a big shift from last year when the Biden administration honored the day by hosting a display of a selection of panels from the original AIDS memorial quilt at the White House. State department employees were directed via email to “refrain from publicly promoting World AIDS Day through any communication channels, including social media, media engagements, speeches or other public-facing messaging,”
