This page is also a 404 @asm.org. Several others are under review. When are they coming back up? Where is the communication to due paying members about how to support Black, Indigenous, and other underrepresented microbiologists in the face of EOs?

@asm.org this better not be anticipatory obedience. I have 5 lab members planning on going to ASM microbe this year. I will absolutely pivot to another meeting if ASM gives in to anti-DEI efforts.
@vscooper.micropopbio.org and @mostlymicrobes.bsky.social while downloading scientist spotlights for teaching from the site; ASM has also scrubbed the entire IDEAA page including resources on LGBTQ+ scientists at asm.org/IDEAA/resources/pride-month

this is the thing not to lose sight of.
yes, the biology of sex is complex and fascinating, with nearly endless diversity.
but also we don't use biology to decide who gets human rights. like, historically speaking that has not led to good places!

Yes, but... Remember that they don't care about truth, or science, or biology. Science alone won't win political battles. Being right doesn't mean we get to control the narrative. I recommend that scientists say things like "You're wrong about the biology, but also trans rights are human rights."
