A scientific consideration further exacerbates the problem, as the 9–5 is conveniently well-suited to the male biological system. Testosterone is a hormone present in both men and women that contributes to energy levels, developmental and reproductive features, and libido.
LGBTQ+ youth were already four times more likely than their counterparts to attempt suicide. Now, the Trevor Project has found that two-thirds of these youth and 85% of trans and nonbinary youth feel their mental health has declined as a result of the bills.

Semiconductors chips are the linchpin of the global economy. These chips are not just in your iPhone and car but also operate the robotics machines and assembly lines that manufacture and distribute our everyday goods.

In the United States, for people who don’t identify as a white, middle to-upper class, straight males, there is a lack of representation in public office. Women make up just over half of the US population, yet they only represent 27% of our current Congress. At the same time, racial and ethnic minorities make up 40% of the US population, but they only make up 23% of Congress.

However, they are not a minority of the population, and therefore their underrepresentation does not generally make its way into the discussion.
