Raising Genderless Babies

Parents regardless of their gender identification have ceased to give their babies a gender at birth "in bid to challenge society's gender bias". Parents are not revealing the sex of the baby to anyone, dressing them up in gender neutral clothing and using "they/them" pronouns rather than "her" or "him". Their goal is to have their baby grow into their own person without having any societal influence on which gender they would like to be.

There has been a lot of backlash as imagined. People are saying that trying to influence the baby's gender is in way influencing them and making them unaware of what is "normal". People are also expressing the discomfort with parents decision to do this because they are worried that they are not letting their kids be kids and exposing them to complicated topics and such a young age. Regardless of the controversy parents are increasingly deciding to not assign genders to their babies. This decision does not only affect people mentally, but it has also led to multiple disputes between schools, hospitals, etc.

Millions are turning to this drug for pain and anxiety

It comes to no surprise that serious mental illnesses like depression and anxiety have become normalized and have become an industry.

Gabapentin is a drug utilized for treating seizures and nerve pain, but majority of people use it for other conditions without a concrete reason why. Recent studies and data are questioning its role as a "benign catch-all" while it's proven that it can be misused if it is used along with other drugs. The non-FDA-approved uses for this drug shows that giving this drug to people with actual mental illnesses can cause even further damage to their chemical imbalance. Drugs are not something one uses lightly, it has serious repercussions. Article

Trump recently visited California, the country's most populous state, and believed that homeless people ruined the "prestige" of cities like Los Angeles and San Francisco. This stance originated in the concept of being sympathetic towards real estate investors and people's property value or quality of life. Under this administration the federal government is trying to put a foot in city policy concerning housing. Officials are considering "razing" homeless camps and refurbishing government buildings. Comment: If Trump is sympathetic towards people's quality of life, then shouldn't he also sympathize with the homeless people's lives? People who are actually experiencing and poor quality of life. In reality the federal government does not have much of a foothole when it comes to homelessness. It takes multiple organizations and departments. Article

Hope for homeless college students is put on hold

Earlier this year a bill was proposed, Assembly Bill 302.

But hope for this bill passing is now gone. Assemblyman Marc Berman, D-Palo Alto, is the sponsor of this bill and he put it aside because he believed that it did not address the actual issue that students face currently. Berman and Gov.Newsom  are leaving this for reconsideration next year to further assess how to both assist homeless students and please school administrators.
