Is dieting as big a sacrifice as having kids? What Americans think about weight loss
We make sacrifices every day—whether it’s sleeping a little less, so we have time to grab coffee on the way to work (a contradictory behavior many of us are guilty of), skipping dinner with friends to spend time with the family, or nixing our online shopping habits to save money.

American history is filled with experiences and narratives from minorities who suffered prejudices as they fought to gain acceptance and, ultimately, freedom. And although we’ve come leaps and bounds in our inclusion of gender minorities—like the Supreme Court’s decision to recognize same-sex marriage in 2015—we have a way to go.

Sex isn’t the easiest thing to talk about (remember that cringey 8th grade sex ed class that didn’t exactly include everything you needed to know to be informed and safe?).
