Sex workers don't deserve to be punished for surviving.

The UK Royal Society of Biology has 18,000 professional members. Odd that the BBC can’t find a single one or even a first year text book. If they did, they would learn that sex is not binary*. I don’t have a TV, but it worries me how much BBC output is pseudoscience & far right eugenics nonsense.

Some 1,300 Israeli academics have issued an open letter recognising the complicity of their academic institutions in the "horrifying litany" of crimes committed against Palestinians, and calling on academic leaders "to mobilize the full weight of Israeli academia to stop the Israeli war in Gaza”.

Just like with masks, the opposition to vaccines from the right was never about mandates. They don’t want you to have choices. They want you to make *their* choice. And now they will force you to do so.

Today, I was denied access to seeing my constituent, Mr. Kilmar Abrego Garcia. If there is nothing to hide, cut the crap. Let his lawyer and I check on him.

I’m guessing that at some point in the future we’ll see our present as the moment the world lost some last vestige of its moral, and humanly caring, sense. First they came for the starving traumatized children of Gaza. But I was not a … www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

In this podcast, hear me respond to World Aquatics & learn how WA presented delegates with a staggering 28 pages of research & only 14min to familiarize themselves with it before voting on the blanket ban of trans women athletes. It would take me a week to review. www.abc.net.au/listen/progr...

If the @WorldAthletics V @MightyCaster debate were solely about ensuring a ‘level playing field’ – and not just about who deserves to compete as a female – then the testosterone limit would apply to all female athletes and not just athletes like Caster. @traceyholmes.bsky.social

Maybe Senator Wong can tell the Pope all about the time she lobbied against marriage equality. For years. www.theage.com.au/politics/fed...

How do we do it?

Thinking about Mum today. As many of us are.  Go gently, folks.

Noting for anyone in Australia who use Estradot patches.

Only times I’ve ever seen this face on the leader of a country is either when they’re talking to Trump – and I’ve seen it multiple times in that instance - or on 911 when it was the look Bush had in that classroom when he was advised about what had happened. It’s strategy and alarm.

There’s a wannabe older Australian queer influencer on Instagram with a bit of splaining sympathy- apparently Australia is not racist, marriage quality was easy but voting yes in the referendum was too complex, I’m suggesting that they might want to capitalise Aboriginal. I hate this place.

We are implementing a 900% tariff on all movies that utilize humans inside any penguin film, in name or subject. People excel in destroying our vibe, and it ends now. Hands off the Glacierverse!
