A UCLA student is suing multiple California health care providers and hospitals for medical negligence, alleging she was wrongly diagnosed with gender dysphoria and then “fast-tracked onto the conveyor belt of irreversibly damaging” puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones and surgery, according to her lawsuit. “There is strong consensus among the most prominent medical organizations worldwide that evidence-based, gender-affirming care for transgender children and adolescents is medically necessary and appropriate. Surgical gender-affirming care is rarely performed on minors, and these procedures are illegal in dozens of states, though California is not among them. Research suggests that regretting treatment for gender dysphoria is “extremely rare,” according to the World Professional Association for Transgender Health, or WPATH. Transition-related care for minors has been a divisive political issue, with Republicans in 26 states passing measures to ban or restrict gender-affirming care for minors in recent years, according to the Movement Advancement Project, an LGBTQ think tank.

Country music star Morgan Wallen was in court Thursday when he pleaded guilty to throwing a chair from a six-story rooftop bar in Nashville earlier this year. He was arrested in April after the incident at fellow country singer Eric Church's bar, Chief's, in Nashville's popular Broadway district. An arrest affidavit said the chair Wallen threw landed about 3 feet (1 meter) from officers, who talked to witnesses and reviewed security footage. Witnesses told officers that they watched Wallen pick up a chair, throw it over the roof and laugh about it. I never will make an excuse,” Wallen told Billboard in an interview two years after the controversy that nearly derailed his career.

There’s been growing awareness of traumatic brain injury in sports, but TBI among victims of domestic violence is often overlooked and misdiagnosed, experts say. National research about brain injury and domestic violence is lacking. After a concussion, the brain needs time to recover, said Dr. Javier Cárdenas, director and founder of the West Virginia brain injury center. A 2021 University of Nebraska study discovered that many never receive medical treatment for traumatic brain injury. “Anywhere a domestic violence survivor goes, there should be some sort of screening for a concussion and brain injury,” Cardenas said.

When I first started learning how to budget, I meticulously tracked every penny in a spreadsheet. These gurus taught me that developing sound money habits was a vital first step to achieving both goals. While they sometimes disagreed about what those sound money habits should be, one recurring suggestion I encountered was to track every last penny I spent or earned. Second, confronting my spending habits in black and white gave me an honest view of where my money was going. While developing sound money habits is important, recognizing when they've outlived their usefulness is also important.
