For Jess Mayer, it was the mirrors. Any time she saw her reflection, she didn't recognize the person. And she resented herself. "It just got so overwhelming that I had to reprioritize my own personal health," she said. #TransDayOfVisibility bit.ly/2PnU5sb Quote with headshot of Jess...
Those who experimented with gender identity behind masks and screens during the pandemic may soon be returning to the workplace as the rollout of vaccines ramps up and businesses reopen.

Sexual assault in the military is not new, but the poor response by the National Guard — composed of militias from 50 states, three U.S. territories and the District of Columbia — stands out. bit.ly/3fH1uOn Image
Guard units have buried sexual assault allegations, withheld crucial documents from victims and retaliated against women who have come forward, a @CapTimes and @journalsentinel, part of the @USATODAY Network investigation has found. bit.ly/3fH1uOn
The Guard answers to the governor in each of its states but effectively polices itself. The bureaucracy is so impenetrable that commanders can use it as a weapon against victims and whistleblowers. bit.ly/3fH1uOn Image

One team has been to the #FinalFour an astounding 13 consecutive times and the other has never been at all!

Here are Monday's results from the 2021 NCAA women's basketball Tournament #Elite8:
Freshman phenom Paige Bueckers scored a game-high 28 points as top-seeded UConn escaped a bruising battle with defending champion Baylor with a 69-67 win.

UConn will head to its 13th consecutive Final Four – the last time it missed was 2007. bit.ly/3fkGaxQ
"If there was a travesty, it was that Baylor and UConn were playing now, in the Elite Eight. If anyone got robbed, it was women’s basketball. This wasn’t an Elite Eight game," writes @nrarmour. bit.ly/2PhQFHA

During the pandemic, women — particularly Black and Latina women — in lower-paying, face-to-face, essential and often care-taking roles, were hit hardest. Vice President Harris said we need to "value the dignity" of that work. usatoday.com/in-depth/opini…
