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-...

Just a reminder how classic what we're seeing is: 1. redefine a group as a threat to civilization 2. reduce legal protections that they enjoy 3. abuse, threaten, harm, and/or relocate them 4. dismiss/ignore concerns about abuses and harms from the process 5. repeat steps 2-4, escalating each time

Rowling is actively using the money you send to her for HP stuff to demonize trans folks and take away their rights. No ethical consumption etc but the calculus on this one seems pretty easy to me

A whole lot of British genitally-obsessed bigots are about to find out exactly how much they don't pass the We Can Always Tell threshold. And "do you know who I am" isn't going to help Sharron Davies when the bloke barges in and asks to see her papers. I don't feel sorry for them at all.

You called a trans woman a clown because she wants to piss in peace, and then accused a cis women of lying when speaking about how she faced discrimination. If those two bad faith tweets aren’t a perfect example of the abject harm caused by anti-trans legislation then I don’t know what it.

Oh no the little elderly church ladies are all trading protest safety tips today because they’ve heard the Proud Boys are planning to disrupt their Tesla Takedown protest this weekend. And I instantly became my overprotective parents hearing they’re at risk. They’re so small and sweet and fragile.

It won't get as much attention but the 41k jobs Dutton wants to cut includes new jobs in small agricultural R&D entities in regional Australia, our cultural institutions like the National Gallery, the sports anti-doping agency, Uluru park rangers & the agency that combats money laundering #auspol

The cynicism of the LNP pitch is amazing. What’s even more amazing is it might work: 1. Lower inflation. Inflation is low. Labor did it. It peaked at 7.8% in 2022. It’s now 2.4%. 2. Lower interest rates. Short of a global shock, central banks are now in a cutting phase worldwide.

Trump is already grabbing people off the street and disappearing them to prison camps in El Salvador and this is only month 2 of the regime. If these people are allowed to stay in power where do you think we're going to be at when month 48 hits? Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

“Disappeared” is how Argentines and Chileans talk about the citizens kidnapped by military regimes of 80s and 90s. Today Mexicans use it to refer to those who vanish in the cartel war. “Disappear” is a verb, noun & adj: When ppl are disappeared, they become los desaparecidos—the disappeared

Strongly seconding Eugenia here. Online cons bring people together from around the world in a way that's accessible and safe. I live in the U.S. and I'm still way more likely to attend your online con than your in-person one.

Hmm I wonder what the long term strategy is behind replacing birth certificates, over which the federal government has no control at all, with passports, over which the Executive Branch has nearly exclusive control, as a foundational document for citizenship and voting.

it's very silly that some people tried to create some guidelines to use language, a tool that we all use, in a way that is more precise and less harmful, and a bunch of people were so offended they decided to burn society to the ground and everyone is like "hmmm maybe they had a point though"
