His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

The Dvash-Bankses had their marriage license and the kids' birth certificates. Everything was in order. They heard their number called; they walked up to the window and greeted the consular officer, who looked a little surprised, they said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"She started off with, 'Obviously the two of you had to use assisted reproduction in order to have your family,' \" Andrew said. \" 'Tell me more about that. Tell me about who is genetically related to who.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The questions were invasive, probing, embarrassing, he said. He cried. Elad got quiet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They didn't expect this. As the children of an American citizen, the twins should both inherit citizenship. But the couple used a surrogate abroad. Each child has genes from one of his fathers. And while Andrew and Elad never planned to tell anyone which child had Andrew's DNA and which child had Elad's, the State Department asked for DNA tests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two months later, Andrew says, letters came.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"One addressed to Aiden, with a U.S. passport saying congratulations, here is your U.S. passport,\" he said. \"And one addressed to my son Ethan, saying we regret to inform you that your application for citizenship has been rejected.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite both men being listed on the boys' birth certificates, Elad says, the government made a distinction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It was literally black and white, on paper, your kids are different,\" he said. \"That was something that any parent would have a hard time seeing, that the government is discriminating against their kids and treating them differently. It's terrible.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The State Department wouldn't comment for this story because of the pending litigation. But in the department's \u003ca href=\"https://fam.state.gov/FAM/07FAM/07FAM1130.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Foreign Affairs Manual\u003c/a>, consular officers are instructed to ask for evidence if they suspect a child doesn't have a biological relationship with the U.S. citizen parent, specifically in cases of surrogacy or \"other cases of assisted reproduction.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The discrimination happens in the application, said Aaron Morris, executive director of Immigration Equality. Under the manual's guidance, every single same-sex couple with children would be flagged at a U.S. Embassy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Treating same-sex couples differently in this way is illegal and unconstitutional,\" Morris said. \u003cem>\"\u003c/em>It is possible that an opposite-sex couple, if they disclose that they had used surrogacy, might have the same problem. But the difference is, in every same-sex couple's case the government is asking deeply invasive questions about the makeup and the creation of the children of same-sex couples. To create a blanket rule in this way that targets only one small population of people and every single member of that class of people is discrimination.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's how it feels to Allison Blixt and her Italian wife, Stefania Zaccari, parents of two boys, one American and one not.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It opened old wounds for Allison, who left her life in New York to move to London, where she and her wife could be married before 2013.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She was angry for a long time at the United States, she says, feeling like she was kicked out of her own country because she wanted to be with the person she loved. They built their life, had their first child. Stefania gave birth to Lucas using her own egg. At the embassy they were told he didn't qualify to be American.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\"\u003c/em>It all came flooding back and I saw all this anger and frustration and rejection,\" Allison said. \"But this time instead of just being about me and about Stefania, it was about Lucas. And I don't want Lucas to ever feel the rejection and the anger and the hurt that I felt because of these things and because of the inequality.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Allison gave birth to their second child, Massi, with her egg, and he is American.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\"\u003c/em>If we had walked into the embassy that day and we had been a straight couple they never would have asked us to give proof,\" Allison said. \"They never would have asked us whose eggs were they.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now they have to think about things like how long Lucas can stay in the States when they visit family. The family physically separates in the airport: Stefania with Lucas in the line for foreigners; Allison with Massi in the line for Americans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Andrew and Elad Dvash-Banks think about the same things. They can't get on a plane to see Elad's family in Israel because their son is on an expired visa.

He said his heart goes out to Bernstein family and that the Woodward family is in shock.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This young man I’m representing was an Eagle Scout and now he’s facing murder,” Munoz said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The district attorney said the two young men had both attended the Orange County School of the Arts but he did not know if they were friends at the time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Woodward communicated with Bernstein via Snapchat on Jan. 2 and then picked him up in a vehicle, Rackauckus said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bernstein’s parents reported him missing the following day. Authorities searched for nearly a week with help from drone pilots. His body was found in brush surrounding the park after rains partially exposed it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The time and place of the killing remained under investigation. Investigators said Woodward had abrasions, scratches and dirt on his hands and was seen during surveillance cleaning his vehicle, Rackauckus said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The district attorney also said Bernstein’s DNA was found on property held by Woodward but would not provide additional details.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bernstein had been studying psychology and was recently chosen to edit a campus culinary magazine. Hundreds of people attended a candlelight vigil and his funeral.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There is still much discovery to be done and if it is determined that this was a hate crime, we will cry not only for our son, but for LGBTQ people everywhere that live in fear or who have been victims of hate crimes,” Bernstein’s family said in a statement earlier this week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the days after Bernstein disappeared, Woodward attended Mass at his family’s parish church in Newport Beach and took communion, said Msgr. Wilbur Davis, who attended the court hearing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Both sides are in pain,” he said. “Our heart goes out to all those who suffer, for whatever reason.”\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

But Romesburg says the rise of the Castro in the 1970s was different.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Castro and the gay liberation movement gained speed together, creating a more fully realized neighborhood than any of its predecessors. There weren’t just gay bars and bathhouses in the Castro. There were gay barbers and gay doctors and opportunities to do gay activism with gay nonprofits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“To have a place in San Francisco, in the world, where gay people can come together as a community and feel like they truly belong and that there’s no real sense of stigma, that’s what made the Castro very special for me as a young guy in my 20s,” Romesburg says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in a country where gay marriage is legal and acceptance of LGBTQ people is greater than ever, some argue that “gayborhoods” aren’t necessary anymore.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11634604\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/RS28193_Romesburg-1-qut-e1512340502669.jpg\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11634604\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/RS28193_Romesburg-1-qut-e1512340502669-800x1057.jpg\" alt='LGBTQ historian Don Romesburg stands in front of the Castro apartment building he was priced out of in 2011. \"There was absolutely no way we could afford anywhere else remotely close to the Castro,\" Romesburg said.' width=\"800\" height=\"1057\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/RS28193_Romesburg-1-qut-e1512340502669-800x1057.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/RS28193_Romesburg-1-qut-e1512340502669-160x211.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/RS28193_Romesburg-1-qut-e1512340502669-1020x1347.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/RS28193_Romesburg-1-qut-e1512340502669-1180x1558.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/RS28193_Romesburg-1-qut-e1512340502669-960x1268.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/RS28193_Romesburg-1-qut-e1512340502669-240x317.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/RS28193_Romesburg-1-qut-e1512340502669-375x495.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/RS28193_Romesburg-1-qut-e1512340502669-520x687.jpg 520w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/RS28193_Romesburg-1-qut-e1512340502669.jpg 1272w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">LGBTQ historian Don Romesburg stands in front of the Castro apartment building he was priced out of in 2011. “There was absolutely no way we could afford anywhere else remotely close to the Castro,” Romesburg said. \u003ccite>(Ryan Levi/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Romesburg agrees that this “post-gay thesis” is part of the reason why there are fewer gay people living in the Castro today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it’s not the whole story.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think that’s a little too optimistic,” he says. “I think it’s too shiny and progress-y.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead, Romesburg points the finger at a more familiar culprit: gentrification.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Romesburg, the mostly gay white men who moved into the Castro in the 1970s transformed the working-class neighborhood.

I feel like, as it becomes more of a global tourist destination and less of a community, it loses some of its heart and some of its soul.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>So where is everyone moving?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>If fewer LGBTQ people are living in the Castro, where are they living?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bob Girard and his partner are looking at moving to the Bay Area, but they don’t want to live in San Francisco. They do, however, want to make sure they end up somewhere where they’re not the only gay couple around.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s not necessary that it needs to be a high percentage,” Girard says of where they’d like to move. “I’d just like to see other gay people out in public once in a while and to have more social opportunities than exist where we live now.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Real estate agents say they’ve seen an exodus of LGBTQ people out of San Francisco and into Oakland. Taylor Sublett, an agent who works with a lot of gay clients, says they’re moving to Oakland for the same reason that everyone else is moving to Oakland: affordability, proximity to San Francisco and more space.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But unlike the Castro, there’s no one neighborhood in Oakland where gay people are concentrating.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s the same places you see people concentrating from San Francisco period,” Sublett says. “They want to be able to walk to a coffee or be somewhere with that neighborhood-y feel that they’ve been priced out of in San Francisco.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Myles Downes is one of those people.

Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly granted a preliminary injunction to keep the policy from going into effect while the court case moves forward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a result of her injunction, the military policy on transgender service members will \"revert to the status quo,\" Kollar-Kotelly writes — that is, \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/06/30/484192442/pentagon-says-transgender-troops-can-now-serve-openly\">the policy that was in place\u003c/a> before Trump's announcement. That policy allowed trans members currently in the military to serve openly, and for openly trans people to be admitted to serve in the future.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kollar-Kotelly did not block the portion of the presidential memorandum that blocked military resources from being used to fund \"sex reassignment surgical procedures,\" saying her court does not have jurisdiction over that policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before 2016, service members who came out as trans were \"caught in limbo,\" as NPR has \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/06/30/484192442/pentagon-says-transgender-troops-can-now-serve-openly\">previously reported\u003c/a>. They weren't eligible for promotion, and were treated according to their gender assigned at birth. Troops who came out as trans could be discharged purely on the basis of their gender identity. Aspiring soldiers who were openly trans were considered unfit for duty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"afiaLYWGFXakoUOoXCnKxgi1yXnTAkmj\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In June 2016, after lengthy deliberation, the Pentagon announced a policy change. \"Effective immediately, transgender Americans may serve openly,\" then-Secretary of Defense Ash Carter said. And within a year, he said, the military would no longer turn away recruits on the basis of trans identity. (The deadline was later extended by six months.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, this July, Trump \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/07/26/539470211/trump-says-transgender-people-cant-serve-in-military\">tweeted\u003c/a> that \"the United States Government will not accept or allow transgender individuals to serve in any capacity in the U.S. Military,\" an announcement that caught many people (including leaders at the Defense Department) \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/07/27/539559582/5-unanswered-questions-about-trumps-ban-on-transgender-troops\">by surprise\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The tweet was followed by an official \u003ca href=\"https://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2017/08/25/presidential-memorandum-secretary-defense-and-secretary-homeland\">presidential memo\u003c/a> in August. The memo called for trans members of the military to, once again, be eligible for discharge based on their gender identity, and for would-be service members who are openly trans to be prohibited from joining the military, effective on Jan. 1, 2018.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The memo did not go as far as Trump's tweets. For instance, whether or not individuals currently serving \u003cem>would \u003c/em>be discharged, among other elements of implementing the ban, would be up to Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis, according to the memo. Any steps taken should be \"appropriate and consistent with military effectiveness and lethality, budgetary constraints and applicable law,\" the instructions stated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"0OAdV6xJ7hfhPyVKbrm32s9Q4ugW2YFF\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under the new preliminary injunction, this portion of the memo is unenforceable and the Pentagon policy is once again in effect. That means, unless the policy changes again, openly trans people could begin joining the military on Jan. 1.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lawsuit against the Trump administration was initially filed by five anonymous service members, \"Jane Doe\" 1-5, from different branches, with decades of collective service and multiple overseas deployments between them. The \"Jane Doe\" plaintiffs were later joined by a \"John Doe.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two named plaintiffs, one at the Naval Academy and another in the Army ROTC, also joined the lawsuit as aspiring service members who, as openly transgender individuals, would be blocked from their career path by the president's memorandum.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The judge ruled that the plaintiffs have persuasive claims that their Fifth Amendment rights are being violated, and have a good chance of succeeding in their court case. She noted, among other things, that the president's policy was announced with little apparent deliberation, \"disfavors a class of historically persecuted and politically powerless individuals\" and contradicts the conclusions of military leaders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She also wrote \"the reasons given for [the directives] do not appear to be supported by any facts\" — for instance, there is \"practically no explanation at all\" about how trans service members would harm \"unit cohesion,\" she wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The memo released by the president also prohibits the military from spending any resources on surgeries related to a service member's gender transition. Covering transition-related health needs was one of the policy changes the Pentagon announced in 2016.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kollar-Kotelly said she could not issue a preliminary injunction on that element of the memo, because none of the plaintiffs in this case had proven that they would personally be harmed by that clause.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Human Rights Campaign called the injunction \"an important step in the ongoing efforts to protect transgender service members.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This case is not the only challenge to Trump's trans service member ban. The ACLU has a separate challenge pending in Maryland, on behalf of several named active service members.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"As all of these cases move forward, we will continue to work to ensure that transgender service members are treated with the equal treatment they deserve,\"ACLU senior staff attorney Joshua Block said in a statement. \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2017 NPR.

They weren't eligible for promotion, and were treated according to their gender assigned at birth. Troops who came out as trans could be discharged purely on the basis of their gender identity. Aspiring soldiers who were openly trans were considered unfit for duty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In June 2016, after lengthy deliberation, the Pentagon announced a policy change. \"Effective immediately, transgender Americans may serve openly,\" then-Secretary of Defense Ash Carter said. And within a year, he said, the military would no longer turn away recruits on the basis of trans identity. (The deadline was later extended by six months.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, this July, Trump \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/07/26/539470211/trump-says-transgender-people-cant-serve-in-military\">tweeted\u003c/a> that \"the United States Government will not accept or allow transgender individuals to serve in any capacity in the U.S. Military,\" an announcement that caught many people (including leaders at the Defense Department) \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/07/27/539559582/5-unanswered-questions-about-trumps-ban-on-transgender-troops\">by surprise\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The tweet was followed by an official \u003ca href=\"https://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2017/08/25/presidential-memorandum-secretary-defense-and-secretary-homeland\">presidential memo\u003c/a> in August. The memo called for trans members of the military to, once again, be eligible for discharge based on their gender identity, and for would-be service members who are openly trans to be prohibited from joining the military, effective on Jan. 1, 2018.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The memo did not go as far as Trump's tweets. For instance, whether or not individuals currently serving \u003cem>would \u003c/em>be discharged, among other elements of implementing the ban, would be up to Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis, according to the memo. Any steps taken should be \"appropriate and consistent with military effectiveness and lethality, budgetary constraints and applicable law,\" the instructions stated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under the new preliminary injunction, this portion of the memo is unenforceable and the Pentagon policy is once again in effect. That means, unless the policy changes again, openly trans people could begin joining the military on Jan. 1.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lawsuit against the Trump administration was initially filed by five anonymous service members, \"Jane Doe\" 1-5, from different branches, with decades of collective service and multiple overseas deployments between them. The \"Jane Doe\" plaintiffs were later joined by a \"John Doe.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two named plaintiffs, one at the Naval Academy and another in the Army ROTC, also joined the lawsuit as aspiring service members who, as openly transgender individuals, would be blocked from their career path by the president's memorandum.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The judge ruled that the plaintiffs have persuasive claims that their Fifth Amendment rights are being violated, and have a good chance of succeeding in their court case. She noted, among other things, that the president's policy was announced with little apparent deliberation, \"disfavors a class of historically persecuted and politically powerless individuals\" and contradicts the conclusions of military leaders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She also wrote \"the reasons given for [the directives] do not appear to be supported by any facts\" — for instance, there is \"practically no explanation at all\" about how trans service members would harm \"unit cohesion,\" she wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The memo released by the president also prohibits the military from spending any resources on surgeries related to a service member's gender transition. Covering transition-related health needs was one of the policy changes the Pentagon announced in 2016.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kollar-Kotelly said she could not issue a preliminary injunction on that element of the memo, because none of the plaintiffs in this case had proven that they would personally be harmed by that clause.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Human Rights Campaign called the injunction \"an important step in the ongoing efforts to protect transgender service members.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This case is not the only challenge to Trump's trans service member ban. The ACLU has a separate challenge pending in Maryland, on behalf of several named active service members.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"As all of these cases move forward, we will continue to work to ensure that transgender service members are treated with the equal treatment they deserve,\"ACLU senior staff attorney Joshua Block said in a statement. \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2017 NPR.

Especially if your guests fall on different sides of the political spectrum. But \u003ca href=\"http://www.makeamericadinneragain.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Make America Dinner Again\u003c/a> breaks this rule, in a big way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Justine Lee co-founded Make America Dinner Again one day after the presidential election. She says she wanted to put her energy into something productive to heal what she saw as a huge national divide. Dinner felt right.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We think of food and a warm meal as sort of a nice conduit to conversation and understanding,\" Lee explains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tonight’s dinner is being held at a loft in downtown San Francisco. All the guests have applied online to be here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s a young Bolivian woman who works at Facebook; a bar owner who describes himself as the trifecta: boy scout, frat boy, and Marine; a UC Berkeley graduate student whose family voted for President Trump; a conservative lawyer; and a transgender adoptee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They’ve never met each other, until now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[audio src=\"https://www.kqed.org/.stream/anon/radio/tcrmag/2017/09/2017-09-22a-tcrmag.mp3\" Image=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/RS26537_MADA_08-qut-800x534.jpg\" Title=\"Bridging the Political Divide, One Dinner at a Time\" program=\"The California Report\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After small talk over a meal of gourmet salads and pizzas, the guests are ushered to a big round table by the facilitators, Sahana Kumar and Hailey Stewart. Stewart lays down some ground rules.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Try not to make judgement statements,” she emphasizes. “Don’t say ‘you’re bad,' ‘you’re wrong,' ‘you’re crazy.' Try to put this into ‘I’ statements, so ‘this made me feel...’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the first exercise, Stewart pairs the guests up and asks them to find one thing they have in common.

Min is transgender, liberal, and was adopted from Korea as a child. A few years ago he adopted a son of his own, Aidan. Min's arms are decorated with colorful tattoos, and he wears a purple checkered shirt (his favorite color). Walt is a white conservative who voted for Trump. He’s a father of four and works as a lawyer in San Mateo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then the pairs are given a new set of instructions. They must ask each other two questions: What has shaped your identity? And what has shaken it in the last year?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Walt starts by telling Min he has been upset by how hostile the Bay Area felt to conservatives after the 2016 election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"9xvlortiw9KCq0JhZ5TrC0vUahWg7EMS\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was very disappointing to me to hear the things that were said to me in particular and to my friends,” he says. “Meanest things I can possibly imagine. And it really pissed me off.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then it’s Walt’s turn to interview Min. Min tells him that as a transgender person of color, he sees a lot of divisive racism and transpeople targeted in the media. And he adds that, because of how the media portrays immigrants, his Latino son’s identity “is under attack, and he doesn’t even know it yet.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But then, there’s a connection. Walt asks Min if he would identify himself first and foremost as transgender. Without hesitation, Min responds, “I would say I’m a father first,” which seems to catch Walt by surprise. Walt chuckles and nods his head. “I say 'way to go,' because that’s how I identify too,” he tells Min.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It seems like Walt and Min could have talked about fatherhood all night. But Stewart, the facilitator, interrupts the group to take them one step further, into something she calls radical empathy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11618131\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-11618131 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/RS26534_MADA_20-qut-800x1199.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"1199\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/RS26534_MADA_20-qut-800x1199.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/RS26534_MADA_20-qut-160x240.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/RS26534_MADA_20-qut-1020x1528.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/RS26534_MADA_20-qut.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/RS26534_MADA_20-qut-1180x1768.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/RS26534_MADA_20-qut-960x1439.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/RS26534_MADA_20-qut-240x360.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/RS26534_MADA_20-qut-375x562.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/RS26534_MADA_20-qut-520x779.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Facilitator Hailey Stewart explains the radical empathy exercise. \u003ccite>(Maykel Loomans)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>When they regroup, each person will share their partner’s story, but in the first person.

Min tells him that as a transgender person of color, he sees a lot of divisive racism and transpeople targeted in the media. And he adds that, because of how the media portrays immigrants, his Latino son’s identity “is under attack, and he doesn’t even know it yet.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But then, there’s a connection. Walt asks Min if he would identify himself first and foremost as transgender. Without hesitation, Min responds, “I would say I’m a father first,” which seems to catch Walt by surprise. Walt chuckles and nods his head. “I say 'way to go,' because that’s how I identify too,” he tells Min.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It seems like Walt and Min could have talked about fatherhood all night.

The paper is set to be published in the association’s peer-reviewed \u003cem>Journal of Personality and Social Psychology\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A spokesperson for the association said it completed the review last week. The association undertook the review to substantiate an institutional review board's vetting of the study, which ensured that the study met ethical guidelines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Given the sensitive nature of photo-images used in the current study, we are currently taking this additional step with this as yet unpublished manuscript,\" a spokesperson for the APA wrote to KQED last week, before the review was completed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The research, by Michal Kosinski and Yilun Wang of Stanford University, claims that a computer algorithm bested humans in distinguishing between a gay person and a straight person when analyzing images from public profiles on a dating website. (Here is a \u003ca href=\"https://osf.io/zn79k/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">preprint\u003c/a> of the study; it's not necessarily the final version of the paper.)Researchers claim AI can be taught to predict sexual orientation from analyzing photographs. LGBTQ advocates are outraged.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The research had led to a firestorm of criticism from LGBTQ advocates and academics since it was \u003ca href=\"https://www.economist.com/news/science-and-technology/21728614-machines-read-faces-are-coming-advances-ai-are-used-spot-signs?fsrc=scn/tw/te/bl/ed/advancesinaiareusedtospotsignsofsexuality\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">first reported\u003c/a> Sept. 9 by The Economist.

This left a pool of 35,326 pictures of 14,776 individuals. Gay and straight people, male and female, were represented evenly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Software called VGG-Face analyzed the faces and looked for correlations between a person's face (nose length, jaw width, etc.) and their self-declared sexual identity on the website. Using a resulting model made up of these distinguishing characteristics, the program, when shown one photo of a gay man and one of a straight man, was able to identify their sexual orientation 81 percent of the time. For women, the success rate was 71 percent. (Accuracy increased when the model was shown more than one image of a person.) Human guessers correctly identified straight faces and gay faces just 61 percent of the time for men and 54 percent for women.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The researchers say in the paper that these results \"provide strong support\" for the prenatal hormone theory of gay and lesbian sexual orientation. The theory holds that under or overexposure to prenatal androgens are a key determinant of sexual orientation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an \u003ca href=\"https://docs.google.com/document/d/11oGZ1Ke3wK9E3BtOFfGfUQuuaSMR8AO2WfWH3aVke6U/preview#\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">authors' note\u003c/a> (last updated Sept. 13), the researchers discuss the study's limitations at some length, including the narrow demographic characteristics of the individuals analyzed -- white people who self-reported to be gay or straight. They also expressed concerns about the implications of the study:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">We were really disturbed by these results and spent much time considering whether they should be made public at all. We did not want to enable the very risks that we are warning against. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Recent press reports,\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> however, suggest that governments and corporations are already using tools aimed at revealing intimate traits from faces. Facial images of billions of people are stockpiled in digital and traditional archives, including dating platforms, photo-sharing websites, and government databases.

This left a pool of 35,326 pictures of 14,776 individuals. Gay and straight people, male and female, were represented evenly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Software called VGG-Face analyzed the faces and looked for correlations between a person's face (nose length, jaw width, etc.) and their self-declared sexual identity on the website. Using a resulting model made up of these distinguishing characteristics, the program, when shown one photo of a gay man and one of a straight man, was able to identify their sexual orientation 81 percent of the time. For women, the success rate was 71 percent. (Accuracy increased when the model was shown more than one image of a person.) Human guessers correctly identified straight faces and gay faces just 61 percent of the time for men and 54 percent for women.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The researchers say in the paper that these results \"provide strong support\" for the prenatal hormone theory of gay and lesbian sexual orientation. The theory holds that under or overexposure to prenatal androgens are a key determinant of sexual orientation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an \u003ca href=\"https://docs.google.com/document/d/11oGZ1Ke3wK9E3BtOFfGfUQuuaSMR8AO2WfWH3aVke6U/preview#\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">authors' note\u003c/a> (last updated Sept. 13), the researchers discuss the study's limitations at some length, including the narrow demographic characteristics of the individuals analyzed -- white people who self-reported to be gay or straight.

Toni Atkins of San Diego and Scott Wiener of San Francisco, has already cleared the Senate and is set to be considered soon in the Assembly Appropriations Committee.

Fusion’s Massive Millennial Poll found that half of millennials—those ages 18 to 34—believe gender is a spectrum and that “some people fall outside traditional categories.” And when it comes to describing themselves, 12 percent of millennials said in a survey for the LGBTQ advocacy organization GLAAD that they don’t consider themselves cisgender (a term meaning that their personal identity or gender corresponds to the sex on their birth certificates.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Should California adopt a nonbinary category, it will still lag far behind Facebook—the social media giant offers users more than 50 custom gender options, including nonbinary, bigender, gender nonconforming, genderqueer and gender fluid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This June, the state of Oregon’s Transportation Commission agreed to issue a driver’s license with a nonbinary designation for the first time in the United States. California law would go a step further by requiring nonbinary options on all state identification documents. In doing so, California would be the only state to provide this designation in the country, though it follows the lead of countries such as Germany, New Zealand, and India.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While so-called bathroom bill legislation has placed statehouses in Texas and North Carolina at the front lines of the nation’s culture war around the question of gender identity, SB 179 has so far enjoyed a relatively peaceful passage through the state Legislature. Despite the not-unexpected objections of conservative religious groups, the bill has so far glided through committees in both chambers with all Democrats, and more than a few Republicans, voting in favor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”hzneRNSt8TdjNzd9AQoPo9ELNLB7NsHP”]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supporters of the bill say the nonbinary marker would allow those who do not identify as either male or female to more easily navigate the tasks of daily life—from making a credit card purchase to boarding an airplane to buying a beer—without subjecting themselves to embarrassment or misunderstanding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For someone who has an ID that states a gender that doesn’t match their gender presentation, things can get difficult: everything from a delay in completing what should be a mundane task to outright harassment,” said Sen. Atkins, speaking on the Senate floor last May.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the bill is about more than convenience, says Dee Shull, who identifies as genderfluid (meaning gender identity varies over time) and uses the pronouns “they” and “them.” It’s also a simple matter of having one’s identity acknowledged and respected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s liberating to be able to say, ‘yes, this is who I am’ and ‘yes, my state documentation matches that,’ ” they say.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11614734\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11614734\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/DeeShull-800x654.jpg\" alt=\"Dee Shull is fighting for the nonbinary category.\" width=\"800\" height=\"654\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/DeeShull-800x654.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/DeeShull-160x131.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/DeeShull-1020x834.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/DeeShull.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/DeeShull-1180x964.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/DeeShull-960x785.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/DeeShull-240x196.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/DeeShull-375x306.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/DeeShull-520x425.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dee Shull is fighting for the nonbinary category. \u003ccite>(Courtesy Dee Shull)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Shull is the communications specialist for the Intersex and Genderqueer Recognition Project, a California nonprofit that bills itself as the first organization in the United States solely focused on helping nonbinary people correct their gender designation on government documents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It will take some Californians time to adapt to this,” Shull says. “I’m not expecting miracles, but if I have an ID that accurately reflects who I am, then that’s one less thing that I have to worry about.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under current law, anyone who wants to change the gender stated on official state identification documents—either from “M” to “F” or vice versa—must make a court appearance. They must also receive a doctor’s note confirming that they are undergoing gender confirmation treatment of some kind. That means transgender and gender nonconforming Californians must rely on the availability and moral approval of a medical professional to change a letter on their driver’s license or birth certificate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nonbinary people, for whom neither letter applies, must petition the court directly and hope to find a sympathetic judge if they wish to receive nonbinary status—that’s happened on an ad hoc basis a few times.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”R7saB3scevOyPBLzlJf7sBBAdMmTzTFS”]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the Legislature, opposition has come from predictable quarters.

These arguments, less vulnerable to the critique that they are motivated by prejudice, have been echoed by some Republican lawmakers in committee as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“With all the ID fraud … it seems to me that it would be pretty simple to steal someone’s identity down the line,” Republican Sen. Mike Morrell of Rancho Cucamonga warned the Senate Transportation Committee last April before voting against the bill.

Fusion’s Massive Millennial Poll found that half of millennials—those ages 18 to 34—believe gender is a spectrum and that “some people fall outside traditional categories.” And when it comes to describing themselves, 12 percent of millennials said in a survey for the LGBTQ advocacy organization GLAAD that they don’t consider themselves cisgender (a term meaning that their personal identity or gender corresponds to the sex on their birth certificates.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Should California adopt a nonbinary category, it will still lag far behind Facebook—the social media giant offers users more than 50 custom gender options, including nonbinary, bigender, gender nonconforming, genderqueer and gender fluid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This June, the state of Oregon’s Transportation Commission agreed to issue a driver’s license with a nonbinary designation for the first time in the United States. California law would go a step further by requiring nonbinary options on all state identification documents. In doing so, California would be the only state to provide this designation in the country, though it follows the lead of countries such as Germany, New Zealand, and India.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While so-called bathroom bill legislation has placed statehouses in Texas and North Carolina at the front lines of the nation’s culture war around the question of gender identity, SB 179 has so far enjoyed a relatively peaceful passage through the state Legislature. Despite the not-unexpected objections of conservative religious groups, the bill has so far glided through committees in both chambers with all Democrats, and more than a few Republicans, voting in favor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supporters of the bill say the nonbinary marker would allow those who do not identify as either male or female to more easily navigate the tasks of daily life—from making a credit card purchase to boarding an airplane to buying a beer—without subjecting themselves to embarrassment or misunderstanding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For someone who has an ID that states a gender that doesn’t match their gender presentation, things can get difficult: everything from a delay in completing what should be a mundane task to outright harassment,” said Sen. Atkins, speaking on the Senate floor last May.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the bill is about more than convenience, says Dee Shull, who identifies as genderfluid (meaning gender identity varies over time) and uses the pronouns “they” and “them.” It’s also a simple matter of having one’s identity acknowledged and respected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s liberating to be able to say, ‘yes, this is who I am’ and ‘yes, my state documentation matches that,’ ” they say.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11614734\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11614734\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/DeeShull-800x654.jpg\" alt=\"Dee Shull is fighting for the nonbinary category.\" width=\"800\" height=\"654\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/DeeShull-800x654.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/DeeShull-160x131.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/DeeShull-1020x834.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/DeeShull.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/DeeShull-1180x964.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/DeeShull-960x785.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/DeeShull-240x196.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/DeeShull-375x306.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/DeeShull-520x425.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dee Shull is fighting for the nonbinary category. \u003ccite>(Courtesy Dee Shull)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Shull is the communications specialist for the Intersex and Genderqueer Recognition Project, a California nonprofit that bills itself as the first organization in the United States solely focused on helping nonbinary people correct their gender designation on government documents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It will take some Californians time to adapt to this,” Shull says. “I’m not expecting miracles, but if I have an ID that accurately reflects who I am, then that’s one less thing that I have to worry about.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under current law, anyone who wants to change the gender stated on official state identification documents—either from “M” to “F” or vice versa—must make a court appearance. They must also receive a doctor’s note confirming that they are undergoing gender confirmation treatment of some kind. That means transgender and gender nonconforming Californians must rely on the availability and moral approval of a medical professional to change a letter on their driver’s license or birth certificate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nonbinary people, for whom neither letter applies, must petition the court directly and hope to find a sympathetic judge if they wish to receive nonbinary status—that’s happened on an ad hoc basis a few times.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the Legislature, opposition has come from predictable quarters. Christian conservative organizations such as the California Family Council and church groups have bemoaned what they call a fundamental redefinition of gender, which they consider to be an immutable characteristic connected to biological traits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At an Assembly Transportation Committee hearing in July, a lobbyist for the council brought along a copy of the American Heritage College Dictionary to recite the meaning of the word “female.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Since the dictionary has not been changed to accommodate this new gender definition, that should be an indication your constituents still believe that gender is based on biology,” Greg Burt said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the council has also raised logistical and legal concerns. These arguments, less vulnerable to the critique that they are motivated by prejudice, have been echoed by some Republican lawmakers in committee as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“With all the ID fraud … it seems to me that it would be pretty simple to steal someone’s identity down the line,” Republican Sen. Mike Morrell of Rancho Cucamonga warned the Senate Transportation Committee last April before voting against the bill. He declined to comment for this article.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Rick Zbur, executive director of Equality California, an LGBTQ advocacy organization that co-sponsored the bill, calls this concern a “red herring.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In some ways you could say this bill strengthens procedures to make sure that people’s identities are consistent with who they actually are,” he said. “It’s just about making sure that people’s rights are respected.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

She says she was pressured to return early from that leave, and that when she returned she was demoted to a desk job without direct patient contact.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This case really has the potential to shine a spotlight on what is the key barrier to making progress to protecting vulnerable inmates in these facilities,\" said Shannon Minter, the legal director of the National Center for Lesbian Rights, \"and that is this prison culture of silence and retaliation.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A 2009 study by researchers at UC Irvine found that transgender prisoners are more than \u003ca href=\"http://ucicorrections.seweb.uci.edu/files/2013/06/Transgender-Inmates-in-CAs-Prisons-An-Empirical-Study-of-a-Vulnerable-Population.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">13 times\u003c/a> more likely to be sexually assaulted than the general population.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is a systemic problem that California has been slow to address,\" Orthwein said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The U.S. Bureau of Prisons released a \"\u003ca href=\"https://www.bop.gov/policy/progstat/5200.04.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Transgender Offender Manual\u003c/a>\" in the waning days of the Obama administration outlining how facilities should work with transgender prisoners and requiring additional training for prison staff. Jespersen's lawyers say one thing they would like to see come out of this suit is additional training requirements for state prisons and an independent oversight body to ensure the fair and accurate reporting of mistreatment against LGBTQ prisoners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"One of the things CDCR has failed to do is really train and hold accountable correctional staff for colluding with other prisoners to act violently towards LGBT folks, as well as act violently towards them themselves,\" Orthwein said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Minter, of the National Center for Lesbian Rights, says because of the culture of silence and the threat of potential retaliation against whistleblowers, cases like Jespersen's are exceedingly rare.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It almost never happens that a prison staffer is willing to put themselves out the way that this woman is doing,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This suit comes a week after Minter's organization helped \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/08/09/5-transgender-troops-sue-to-stop-trump-plan-to-ban-them/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">five transgender service members\u003c/a> file a lawsuit against President Trump over his tweet saying that transgender people would not be allowed to serve in the U.S. military.\u003cbr>\n\u003ca name=\"complaint\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Read the complaint below.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
