Science, in its current model, can only find answers to the questions that we ask. We'll never have the right information if we never ask the right questions. Here's one reason why we're asking the wrong question about trans athletes 👇

Vegetables are mostly water Fruits are mostly sugar I'd rather just have another mtn dew

4chan doesn't make people trans, obviously. But the manosphere has a unique pull to eggs that feel excluded by images of traditionally masculinity. Make *being trans* easier/more socially acceptable = less pre-transition trans folks wasting away on message boards. Toxic masculinity hurts everyone

incel -> trans pipeline ain't a thing We need to spend more time talking about why so many eggs end up in incel spaces. Individuals are often driven to those spaces by alienation from an impossible image of masculinity. Why is it impossible? Sometimes its capitalism, sometimes it's cuz your trans

NOOOOOOOO my discover feed is being overrun. I thought this website only let trans people sign up, wth

oooooo lookie new domain

In a couple weeks you're all going to meet the 16-year-old trans girl who's challenge to a ban on gender-affirming medical care is being heard at SCOTUS and I'm going to need you all to 1) be loud and thankful for how badass she's being and 2) fight for her like your life depends on it

Search for Blair Hamilton and read some of their work. They’ve done a number of landmark studies in the field. They’ve spoken out against the ambiguity and lax IOC standards, but in a way that encourages doing more research and not selecting arbitrary numbers without reason.

This field of study is pretty much my whole thing. It’s angering but also really interesting. The question of fairness is “fair.” But if we don’t really know if it is or not, the only reason to segregate is bigotry and fear.

The ironic thing about post election chatter is that a lot of the time it’s candidates who lost, underperformed, or underworked who have endless time to go on TV and share their blame story. And for their part, journalists rarely EVER ask if that person actually ran a functionally solid campaign

Gender affirming surgery is needed for cis people sometimes too… I just can’t imagine wanting a prosthetic testicle 😂

Hi #academicsky I’m looking for potential phd supervisors that would be interested in studying the physiology, ethics, and policy surrounding trans people and sport. If you know anyone or know places I should look, let me know! Reposts appreciated.

My how far we've fallen. Can't think of what may have caused the shift. apnews.com/general-news...

So, Mr. "Your body My..." He's almost certainly gay, right? And his misogyny is an externalized version of the hatred he holds for his own sexuality? Is that a stretch? Seems like the poor guy needs a life do over...

Best Hitchcock movie to capture our fear of assured oncoming violence: The birds

@bookboundprince.bsky.social I have a public threads account but I wanted to engage with what you posted a couple hours ago about the transphobic student. Seems to me like the kid may be trans deep in there. It’s not unusual for eggs to fear what their body knows but their brain refuses to accept.

I feel this. For me it shows up as no longer needing to avoid pain or fear at all costs. It’s easier than it’s ever been to have blood drawn or watch a horror movie. Even the cold bites a little more softly.

It’d be nice if there were a better way to save skeets

Today would have been Carl Sagan's 90th birthday. He wrote this in 1995. Carl was absolutely right. #CarlSaganDay

Where did the “hot lesbian relationships in movies” account go? Used to be like 50% of my feed on here.

Every time a “professional” introduces themselves on here I die a little inside Bsky is for rage posts and trans love, take your networking back to threads pls. Thanks. 😊

I think I'm going to start wearing my queerness on my sleeve a little more. I'm generally straight passing and I think that needs to change. Fuck their comfort.

A remarkable thing happened Tuesday night on an “election integrity” discussion page on the social media platform X, as it became clear that former president Donald Trump was headed to a decisive victory against Vice President Kamala Harris. It got quiet. wapo.st/40VIxPB

The nation has spoken. I must now be a viking's fan.

I'm giving myself today, and today alone, to feel like shit. Tomorrow, I start to take more action, solidify plans for every worst case scenario, but most importantly, continue to live my life as me. I'm not going back.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but voting for a person who spent $210 million demonizing a minority is morally wrong.

Utah will make it! Someday she'll swing. I believe!!
