Getting Beyond Left and Right, To a Point (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It didn’t make the news, but the NOW Conference this summer — “Celebrating 60 Years of Feminist Power, Progress, and Possibility” — was a mess. A bunch of lesbians showed up in a building full of feminists and asked for the annual gathering of the National Organization for Women be treated as a conference for women, with spaces that would only be for women, if you know what I mean and I think you do.

The “Trans Kids” Consensus That No One Built (opens the original)
Read excerpt
You arrive on the battlefield, and you see that the enemy line is weak. You order your division forward, straight up the middle, into an immediate frontal attack.

The Dying Politics of Strategic Anguish (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We’re wired to react to pain signals from other people, and we have a deeply rooted instinct to help when someone cries out or shows through facial expressions that they’ve been hurt.
