Biological sex is what's written on a document you can't provide as proof of ID, recording the visible configuration of genitalia on the day you were born, which might be different to today, unless it doesn't because it's been updated by GRC, which you can't legally ask for, in which case it's not.

If you support Trump, then you have been brainwashed and you are in a cult. Sadly, if this is you, then you won’t believe me because that’s part of being brainwashed and in a cult 🤷🏻‍♀️

This may sound a bit weird but I am pretty sure that for many years (decades even) I struggled to say or write the words “woman” and “women”. I just didn't like using those words. I am not sure why. But now I think I have gotten over it. Just me or did anyone else struggle?

I have today learned via the perl5 porters mailing list of the sad passing of Zefram, sometimes known as Andrew Main. I worked with him for a while in the late 1990s. I admired his perfectionism. R.I.P.

Wanted a black & white polka dot dress for a few years, but no-one was making them on the peg and I couldn't afford to have one made. But, wait long enough and everything comes back into fashion 😄 Come 2025 and they came back in with not one but two outlets! 🧵

I've long advocated not using "biological sex" at all. It's incoherent and unscientific. There are a LOT of different definitions, based on assigned sex, fertility, chromosomes, primary and secondary characteristics, and gender identity. None are the nice neat binary loved by bigots. 1/2

Today in The Guardian. Seems like blackmail to me 🤷🏻‍♀️ “US negotiators on the minerals deal threatened to cut Ukraine’s access to Starlink, Reuters reported, citing three sources familiar with the matter.
