As they left, a White man named Kevin Monahan came outside and fired two shots at the car, tragically murdering 20-year-old Kaylin Gillis. This story serves as a reminder that White supremacy is a real and dangerous issue.

My tweets about Jennifer’s reporting on the science behind gender care for minors unleashed a torrent of similarly violent and hateful emails. People falsely accuse both of us of transphobia in an attempt to intimidate us out of doing our jobs. This thread will discuss the fair and factual reporting about science.

A decade into the PrEP era, efforts to leverage the prevention pill's power to curb HIV have stagnated. Among gay men, who account for 70% of new cases, Blacks and Latinos have the highest HIV rates, but use PrEP the least. In a clinical trial of Apretude vs daily oral Truvada as PrEP, the injectable drug yielded a 72% lower HIV rate in Black gay men and trans women.
