Gender Diversity TSA recognizes the concerns that some members of the transgender/non-binary/gender nonconforming traveling public have with screening technology and certain security screening procedures, and is committed to ensuring all passengers are treated with respect and dignity. Screening is conducted without regard to a person's race, color, sex, gender, gender identity, national origin, religion or disability. Prior to the Airport TSA PreCheck® The TSA PreCheck® program application has been updated to include an additional gender marker option to better serve non-binary and gender non-conforming passengers. TSA allows TSA PreCheck® applicants to select their gender based on self-attestation, regardless of the sex assigned at birth. If you are a member of the TSA PreCheck® Application Program, you may call (855) 347-8371 weekdays between 8 a.m. and 10 p.m. ET to request a gender data update. You may also submit your inquiry online. This new gender marker option will not impact the security screening process. Security screening is conducted without discrimination against passengers based on their race, color, sex, gender, gender identity, national origin, religion or disability. Updating your gender on other identification documents is not required to enroll in TSA PreCheck® screening. You will receive TSA PreCheck® security screening even if your current gender differs from the gender provided upon enrollment in TSA PreCheck®, as long as the name, Known Traveler Number (KTN), and date of birth on your reservation matches their record with TSA. For more information, please visit TSA PreCheck Frequently Asked Questions.

While You Are There Here are some pointers for staying safe while abroad: Remember, you are subject to the laws of the country where you travel. In some countries, same-sex marriage and consensual same-sex relations are illegal. Some countries also ban public gatherings of or in support of LGBTQI+ communities. They may also ban sharing pro-LGBTQI+ material. For more details, read the country information page for your destination. See the “Local Laws & Special Circumstances” section. Watch out for entrapment campaigns. Police in some countries watch websites and apps. They may also watch meeting places. Be careful about connecting with locals. Be wary of new-found “friends.” Criminals may target or attempt to extort foreigners who are perceived to be LGBTQI+. Some resorts or neighborhoods are welcoming to LGBTQI+ travelers. The broader community might have different attitudes. Be aware: attitudes in nearby areas may be much less accepting. Be aware when planning excursions outside of the resort or area. In particular, LGBTQI+ youth might, in some countries, be subjected to dangerous practices like so-called “conversion therapy practices.” The use of so-called “Conversion Therapy Practices” can be common in certain countries abroad. The term “Conversion Therapy Practices” includes discredited efforts to suppress or change an individual’s sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression that research indicates can cause significant harm, including higher rates of suicide-related thoughts, and behaviors by LGBTQI+ youth and young adults. Please review the United Nations Human Rights Report for more information on this issue. For information on conversion therapy practices in specific countries, please review the Human Rights report or country information page for that location.
previous version of the page about "Travelers with special considerations": LGBTQI+ Travelers LGBTQI+ travelers can face special challenges abroad. Laws and attitudes in some countries may affect safety and ease of travel. Many countries do not recognize same-sex marriage. About 70 countries consider consensual same-sex relations a crime. In some of these countries, individuals who engage in same-sex sexual relations may face severe punishment. ALL / Before You Travel Research Your Destination Visit our Traveler’s Checklist. Review the country information page for your destination(s). These pages contain information specific to LGBTQI+ travelers. Check for this in the “Local Laws & Special Circumstances” section. Information for Travelers with an X Gender Marker on their passport U.S. citizens can select an X as their gender marker on their U.S. passport application. Information about X gender marker passports and changing your U.S. passport to an X gender marker can be found here. Although the U.S. government issues passports with the X gender marker, it cannot guarantee your entry or transit through other countries. Some countries do not recognize the X gender marker. In these countries, you may face entry restrictions. Check with the foreign embassy or consulate in the United States before you travel.
press release from "Welcome to Favelas" praising Meta for ending the fact checking program: "We learn with interest about Meta's decision to abandon the fact-checker system and adopt a less restrictive approach in the future. Welcome to Favelas has been banned 14 times by Facebook and 2 times by Instagram. During our early years of operation, we are aware that we posted inappropriate content, and we recognize that the early measures were inevitable and justified. However, thereafter we were repeatedly hit arbitrarily, without any possibility of appeal and without any justification. The so-called “fact-checkers” were often journalists working for newspapers that, paradoxically, made extensive use of the news published by Welcome to Favelas. This led to a situation where we were prevented from growing by the very people who most drew from our work. We hope that the new course announced by Meta will ensure real freedom of expression for all, while preventing the spread of fake news. It is essential to build a new information management system in which platforms, users and practitioners can work together transparently and harmoniously. This goal is more urgent today than ever before." Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
screenshot of a post from "Welcome to Favelas" saying they met with representatives of Elon Musk: "In recent days, some European representatives of Elon Musk had a meeting with administrators of social realities related to the world of independent information, including, for Italy, Welcome to Favelas. At the moment, the parties chose not to make official statements, but the meeting was judged by the participants as necessary and very stimulating. #youarethemedianow"
screenshot from substack reads: "Elon Musk has been a vocal supporter of free speech. It’s no secret that we haven’t always seen eye to eye, but he deserves a lot of credit for advancing freedom of speech on X, before it was popular and in the face of fierce criticism and opposition. But Musk’s record is not perfect—he has been credibly accused of censoring his political opponents in addition to his commercial ones. Mark Zuckerberg recently announced favorable changes in policy for Meta that should result in freer expression on its platforms. His stated reasons were a change in public sentiment and a new administration, reflecting a real change in the culture. Those who welcome the press freedom changes at Meta owe a debt to those who took a principled stand when the wind was blowing the other way."

Are there any common misconceptions about how mathematical ability develops? I think there are a couple. One is the idea that some people are innately better at maths than others. We don't see evidence for that. We see evidence for individual differences, but there is no test that would discriminate, with great accuracy, between somebody who's going to be really good at maths and somebody who's going to be terrible at maths. I think another misconception is that there are strong gender differences in maths between boys and girls. All the evidence that we have points more to gender similarities than gender differences. In fact, the gender stereotype - that "girls can't do maths", which is still prevalent despite decades of research showing data to the contrary - is having adverse effects, especially on female pupils, who feel this stereotype and might therefore experience high levels of mathematics anxiety.

Graph from Our World in Data: "The overall picture you see from this diagram is that almost three-quarters of emissions come from energy use; almost one-fifth from agriculture and land use [this increases to one-quarter when we consider the food system as a whole — including processing, packaging, transport, and retail]; and the remaining 8% from industry and waste."

The benchmarks, measured in thousands of pounds (000s lbs) of CO2, are represented with corresponding icons for visual clarity. From left to right: 1.

U.S. car manufacturing and fuel consumption (average 1 lifetime): 126.0. 5. Training an AI model: 626.2.

Screenshot of a feedback form: "Hi guys, wanted to share some feedback after seeing the popup that Amie no longer offers a free tier. I totally understand it's hard to keep an app running and figure out how to make its development sustainable, and I'm not against subscriptions (in fact I thought multiple times about subscribing to amie). It's absolutely ok that you're moving Amie to subscription only. However, I think such a change needs to be communicated properly and with the proper transition period. It's unacceptable to me that not only I can't find any public announcement on your website, social media profiles or in an email about this change, but that the app is simply suddenly *unaccessible*, not even as a read only app. Imagine if I was at work and quickly needed to use Amie for any number of things but I found this screen? A calendar is such a fundamental app for productivity, I'm sure you know it, and I can't have it be unaccessible to me suddenly without any previous communication. Can I trust you to provide a reliable service in the future if I decide to subscribe? What if in the future you have some maintenance to do on some amie feature? Can I trust you to notify me beforehand properly? wishing you the best guys, the mobile app is quite nice to use and it has been my main productivity tool lately, but I'm not sure I wanna subscribe given the circumstances"
