My husband has taught human reproduction and development to the Cambridge medics for over three decades. When people start banging on about "only two biological sexes" he starts with "which sex: genetic, hormonal, or gonadal"? Biological sex is not binary. www.scientificamerican.com/article/sex-...

Despite what a Supreme Court rules, Trans people have & will always exist. We must continue the fight for equality for trans women after this ruling - and fight the global wealthy elites wanting to erode rights across the world ✊️

Whichever way this goes British transphobes will claim victory in the headlines so remember to stay cool, check to see what the court actually says, & remember that a crucial part of the issue here is Gender Recognition Certificates, which are very specific to the British legal system

🟢 The importance of ecosocialist candidates in local government 🟢 Clydebank is a town mired in socialist, instrumental in the rise of movement of Red Clydeside. Why then, has this town consistently struggled to produce a socialist councillor in recent memory?

Governments have badly let us down by ignoring the science, failing to cut carbon emissions, and refusing to end the destruction of our eco-systems. If we allow this to continue the costs will be incalculable.

Why Greens care about Grangemouth : a short thread based on a conversation with a friend last night. On its surface it may look like Greens would never care about jobs lost at oil refinery - we believe oil should be left in the ground right? But we do care…
