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-...

I had the opportunity to do some philosophy again. Unfortunately, it was not good philosophy. Baron-Cohen Gets It Wrong Again: Philosophy Edition

What happens when psychologists try to do philosophy about autistic people? Nothing good. So why not listen to an actual autistic philosopher explain why. Baron-Cohens "Zero Degrees" is ... Not a great book. www.buzzsprout.com/1962838/epis...

I've put on my hob nailed boots and given the Supreme Court decision the kicking it deserves. goodlaw.social/vd3a

I see the Supreme Court are transphobes as well. The words biology or biological do not appear once in the entire 386 pages of the Act. So this feels like the judges creating new definitions of the law without it going through Parliament.

You're never going to be able to "personal responsibility" this shit. It's like guilting people into recycling while one luxury cruise voyage completely undoes a year's worth of personal responsibility. This can only be attacked by going after OpenAI and making them pay for their energy use.

I rather expect that if the school management had been treated like this, they would not be calling it ‘a difference of opinion’.

This great video also reminded me of an interesting facet of motonormativity: people can lose 100 hours a year in traffic and never notice; but they have one late train and it's all "Never again - you can't rely on them"

Did you know that Wes Streeting has removed a ‘cost cap’ from private companies delivering NHS care- therefore giving them special treatment over publicly-owned NHS services?🚨 Imagine if publicly-owned NHS services had an unlimited budget to treat patients! www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...
