Daily newsletter 9/5

➡️ We’re starting our Friday roundup on a positive note, with a look at how groups like Invisible Histories and the Lesbian Herstory Archives are collecting records and keepsakes from the LGBTQ+ community. "Archiving lesbian history, queer histories, as they are being forcibly removed by fascist regimes … is important to remind people that we exist."

Also, a new, groundbreaking review of IVF outcomes is raising awareness of the risks facing lesbians and transgender people trying to get pregnant.

Meanwhile, Tucker Carlson is claiming that Pete Buttigieg is “fake gay,” the creator of the transgender flag is fleeing the country, and Texas is cracking down on abortion pills the day after it moved to ban trans people from public bathrooms.

See you next week,
