Researchers recently caught Meta using tactics that one expert called similar to those of digital crooks to secretly compile logs of people’s web browsing on Android devices.

Meta found a new way to violate your privacy. Here’s what you can do.
Even hardened digital privacy veterans said they were surprised by Meta’s scuzzy tactics.

More than a century later, science is still scratching at the surface of inactivation and all that it entails.
I did my PhD in a section headed by Mary Lyon, and then went to UCL in a building that contained MRC Units directed by Ruth Sanger and Anne McLaren. They were all real supporters of other women - it was years before I realised how unusually lucky I was to have had such strong female role models.
Born #OnThisDay in 1918 was Ruth Sanger FRS. She was known for her work on human red cell antigens and the genetic mapping of the human X chromosome. Her work on blood groups helped make blood transfusions safer. #HistoryOfScience #WomenInSTEM

A lot of XXYs describe themselves as a Klinefelter, and most don't actually realise they are describing themselves as a disease.

Sex chromosome variations describe populations that exist outside the binary sexes of XY (male) and XX ( female) and even then sex markers are not set in stone. Thus to say 1 in 500 "Men" have an additional (sex) chromosome would not be correct. Intersex would be far more appropriate.

"Research papers marred by innocent mistakes, misconduct or outright fakery are a serious problem in science"
Stirring words, to be sure - but hang on, what 's then left?
Can someone point me to those absolutely perfect research papers - without any innocent or not-so-innocent mistakes?

Yes, knowing your enthusiasm for adventure I figured this would be your thing 😀. Besides, not withstanding the recent changes to META, I think we are all well and truly over what it had to offer.
Are you aware of other XXY's worthy of following and will KSA have an official presence here?

I have retired from activism and whilst I acknowledge XXY is an Intersex variation, I do not refer to myself as Intersex, instead, (if asked) I tell people I am an XXY woman, and society seems to have a far better understanding of that.

All good, and no need for an apology. We are all in this together and may just have different ways of owning the prerogative.

You asked, "Is this internalised Intersex phobia".
And I replied: No, this is just me stating the difference between KS and XXY.

No, but Klinefelter's Syndrome which describes a disease of the testes, very much is. I would describe you as someone who is 47XXY, and by your own admission, has Klinefelter's Syndrome. Children/babies are not born with KS, they are born with a sex chromosome variation (Genetics)

The trouble with 47xxy and Klinefelter's is how they are used interchangeably even though they are not the same. The former relates to genetics and the latter to pathology. Having either does not me you will acquire the other.

For what it's worth or not. With regards to humans, not everyone who is XXY will have Klinefelter's Syndrome, just as not everyone with KS will be XXY.
