Twelve years into Syria’s devastating civil war, the conflict appears to have settled into a frozen state. Although 30 percent of the country is controlled by opposition forces, heavy fighting has largely ceased and there is a growing regional trending toward normalizing relations with the regime of Bashar al-Assad. The conflict erupted into one of the most complicated in the world, with international and regional powers, opposition groups, militias and extremist groups all playing a role. The Syrian population has been brutalized, with nearly a half a million killed, 12 million fleeing their homes to find safety elsewhere, and widespread poverty and hunger. Meanwhile, efforts to broker a settlement have gone nowhere, leaving the Assad regime firmly in power. Welcome to ‘SYRIAN STALEMATE: 12 Years Of War’

Jayson Achtenberg, 13, is transitioning to male from his birth-assigned female gender. While still in middle school, he decided begin hormone replacement therapy earlier than planned in order to start before Georgia’s new SB140 law takes effect July 1. The new law will prohibit doctors from performing gender-affirming surgeries or prescribing hormone replacements to Georgians under 18. Patients who begin their treatment for gender dysphoria prior to July would be ‘grandfathered in’. Welcome to ‘TO BE: One of the Guys’
