Revving Up for Success
Travis Shumake wasn’t your typical kid growing up in Phoenix, Arizona. His playground wasn’t the local park, it was the drag strip. The son of celebrated NHRA drivers Tripp and Susie Shumake, Travis’s “average” childhood activities included chatting with racing legends, standing on the starting line, and pretending to do burnouts in the Nitro Funny Car parked in the family garage.
Biden-Harris Administration Finalizes Rule to Strengthen Protections for Youth in the Child Welfare System
On April 29th, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), through the Administration for Children and Families (ACF), finalized a policy that strengthens protections for youth in foster care by clarifying how states must meet their statutory requirements to appropriately serve LGBTQI+ children in foster care.
Binary Code – Gender as a Social Construct: From Fixed Categories to Fluid Identities
Gender fluidity suggests diverse ways of representing oneself in society; anatomical sex has always been defined socially by a gender role and subjectively as gender identity. Judith Butler perfectly explains how sex, gender and sexuality interact; she questioned the gender binary distinction, suggesting that “biology is always given cultural meaning and, therefore, perhaps sex was always gender.”
Supporting LGBTQ+ Youth
In a world where acceptance and inclusion are paramount, creating safe spaces for LGBTQ+ youth is a critical step toward fostering a supportive and nurturing environment. With rising awareness of LGBTQ+ issues, educators, support groups, and communities play a pivotal role in shaping spaces where young people can express themselves without fear of discrimination, harassment, or violence.
