On Monday, Trump tried to redefine “male” and “female” by fiat. I spoke to @kateclancy.bsky.social about the bad science, and Kellan Baker and Kulsoom Ijaz about what it means for trans & pregnant people.

Trump’s definitions of "male" and "female" are nonsense science with staggering ramifications
"How can you so fully misunderstand basic human biology, and then legislate about it?"

I had a convo with a colleague right before Thanksgiving about The Washington Post. They were furious that people were unsubscribing.
"This will only hurt reporters, not Bezos."
When I asked them if maybe readers aren't trying to hurt Bezos but simply no longer trust WaPo, they look scandalized.

We live in a world of radical ignorance, and the marvel is that any kind of truth cuts through the noise,” says Proctor. Even though knowledge is ‘accessible’, it does not mean it is accessed, he warns.
"Agnotology is the study of the deliberate spread of ignorance or doubt to influence opinion. It helps us understand how people use ignorance to hide or divert attention from societal problems, promote ignorance, and stoke xenophobia and populism."
