Wait so, men and women can’t share spaces “because it is unsafe”, so a trans man can’t go in the men’s room because he “is not a man”, but he can’t go in the women’s room because “he looks like a man”, so he needs a segregated “mixed sex room” that men and women will safely share IM SORRY WHAT?!

People with innate variations of sex characteristics (intersex/dsd) are usually cisgender, but we can all be impacted by legislation targeting trans people. This preprint (I’m proud to have coauthored with a great team) looks at intersex exceptions in US legislation restricting care for trans youth

It feels a little forgotten but when the Coalition was in power in 2022, they delayed the release of updates showing electricity price rises so Labor would take the blame - and it worked really well reneweconomy.com.au/a-rudderless...

As global inequality soars, President Donald Trump has recruited a bloat of fellow billionaires to help run his administration, including the world’s richest man.

This is: 1. an absolutely nonsensical way to think about trade 2. nothing to do with tariff barriers, it’s just…relative trade. It’s just something else entirely 3. a CRAZILY back-of-the-envelope way to set global trade policy It is mad that this is real.

People might think that whatever destruction is done to science in the US, we can undo in 4 years with a Democratic president and Congress. The problem is that many areas require specialized knowledge and skills built up over years, and once that's lost, it's hard to get back.
