In the recent DSM-5, the manual mental health professions use to diagnose a disorder, 'Gender Identity Disorder' has been renamed 'Gender Dysphoria' in order to make an attempt in changing the current perspective people have on gender. This change resembles that of which homosexuality was dropped as a disorder from the DSM in the 70's. While this is a huge strive for the right direction in the transgender movement, some changes still need to be made. The diagnostic criteria for gender dysphoria only focuses on binary gender identities and does not show acknowledgement of nonbinary identities that some transgender people label as. A diagnoses is crucial for legal purposes, so if a nonbinary individual cannot be diagnosed they may not be able to access hormones for their transition or the legal changes they wish to make.

This article outlines how deceiving, and even ignorant the Black Lives Matter movement really is to claim that police are racist. A Harvard Law professor and his students conducted a experiment compiled of more than 3,000 hours of data, and concluded that in fact there is a race that is more likely to be shot by police, Caucasians, as there will be the least blow-back, or media coverage from the public about racial tensions, and racist police officers. The Black Lives Matter organization as of late is based off of the idea that police are killing in cold blood based off the idea that the victims are black. This idea is ludicrous and has been debunked several times before in the past. However BLM uses deceit and raises lots of money in order to recruit, train, and buy weapons for shooters such as Micah Xavier Johnson did in Dallas. The BLM organization has strong ties, and was founded by the Black Panthers, a known terrorist organization that targets Caucasians and police officers. It deeply saddens me that people can so easily tie themselves to a movement with such rotten foundations, which is deceiving millions of innocent people and taking advantage of them, using them as martyrs.
