One weird experience of transitioning is failing at ur assigned gender role the whole time and everyone constantly deriding you for it but then u come out and it's like we lost a beautiful gender conforming warrior today. Must grieve for my wonderful child who pissed me off by being ugly and weird since day 1

Hey friends,
This week, we're diving into stories that warm the heart and inspire hope. From generous celebrities to groundbreaking policy changes, here's your dose of positivity!
Actor Michael Sheen has taken philanthropy to a new level by personally clearing over $1 million in debt for 900 individuals in South Wales. Sheen invested £100,000 of his own money to establish a debt-purchasing company, acquiring debt portfolios at reduced prices to relieve those struggling financially. His journey and the impact of this initiative are documented in "Michael Sheen's Secret Million Pound Giveaway," airing on Channel 4 on March 10.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's government has signed agreements totalling almost $37 billion over five years with 11 provinces and territories that will extend the federal child-care program until 2031.
With just days to go before he leaves office, Trudeau said Thursday that these deals will ensure the long-term viability of one of his government's flagship policies.
In a significant policy shift, parents in Britain will soon be entitled to two weeks of bereavement leave following a miscarriage before 24 weeks' gestation. This change is part of Labour's workers' rights reforms, extending existing bereavement leave laws that cover stillbirths after 24 weeks. The move acknowledges the profound physical and emotional impacts of baby loss and aims to provide necessary support to grieving parents.
In Pocatello, Idaho, the last video rental store has closed, but owner David Kraning preserved a portion of the collection for a special customer. For 35-year-old Christina Cavanaugh, who has Down syndrome and is mostly nonverbal, renting movies has been a vital routine for over 15 years. To maintain this cherished activity, Kraning created 'Christina's Corner' in his adjacent convenience store, allowing her to continue enjoying her beloved pastime.
Global acceptance of same-sex relationships has seen a significant rise in recent decades. For instance, in the United Kingdom, the percentage of people who would not want homosexual neighbors has dropped from one-third in 1993 to less than 5% today. This trend reflects a broader shift towards inclusivity and acceptance in many parts of the world.
During the 97th Academy Awards, host Conan O'Brien brought members of the Los Angeles and Pasadena fire departments on stage to deliver some of his riskiest jokes. This collaboration not only added humor to the event but also honored the bravery and dedication of local firefighters, especially in light of recent wildfires. The audience responded with enthusiastic applause, highlighting the community's appreciation for these heroes.
