everyone who wants Democrats to focus on throwing immigrants and trans people under the bus needs to explain why this is not going to be the end result

Muy atento a ese próximo ensayo. Y como biólogo profesional, recomiendo este de paso.
I have a new essay coming out next week so stay tuned! since one of the ppl I critique in it is a hardcore "gamete truther", I figured I'd re-up this – discusses both the actual biology & the bonkers anti-trans talking point that's grown out of it (no paywall): juliaserano.medium.com/why-are-gend...
Why Are “Gender Critical” Activists So Fond of Gametes?
plus my new video “Trans People and Biological Sex: What the Science Says”

LRT: since he's in the news for Epstein-related reasons, thought I'd share this excellent 2006 essay from trans scientist Ben Barres about the "Larry Summers Hypothesis" (Summers' claim that women are bad at STEM because of innate ability)

very funny to read these emails and then remember summers wondering whether the leaky pipeline in stem was because women are inherently bad at math
The emails have Summers reporting to Epstein about his attempts to date a Harvard economics student & to hit on her during a seminar she was giving.

It is very funny that this Pope is just going to get jerseys from now on. Everyone decided that's what this Pope likes and that is it. It's like if your grandmother got you a puzzle for Christmas one year and you said you liked it so your entire extended family is like "oh that's the puzzle kid"
Spike Lee just blessed Pope Leo with a custom Knicks jersey during his visit to the Vatican, just one week after the Pope was gifted a custom Chicago Bulls one.

...you can tell that the author must have been right up against the word count if they bothered to abbreviate queer theory as "QT" hahahaha

yesterday, rather than post about "Nuzzi" or the "Bubba blow job", I instead skeeted about this weird-ass academic article...
was very confused by this abstract I stumbled upon in a search b/c it clearly uses GC/TERF language & framings, but describes itself in the title as "A Challenge for Gender Critical Feminism". then I realized it's in a Catholic journal & they're likely encouraging GC/TERFs to "drop the GLB" too...

If the NYT told the story of the homeless teenager exploited by Matt Gaetz with even half as much empathy as it tells the story of Olivia Nuzzi, it would be in danger of committing journalism.

swear to god as soon as U.S. Eastern Time folks are confronted with the existence of people in other time zones, their brains completely stop working: "so remind me, are you 3 hours ahead of me? or behind me?" wow, that's a tough one – does the sun rise in the west & set in the east? or vice versa?

Predictable but still amazing to watch people who spent literally years accusing every librarian, teacher, and trans person they could find of sexually grooming children suddenly throw themselves in with "actually it's ephebophilia"
Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

wait, are you telling me the NYTimes possessed news-worthy evidence that it suppressed in favor of a different narrative that was more preferable to their editors?!? 😲 /s 🧵
Can we circle back to the part where the NY Times never disclosed that they have incriminating information on Donald Trump from sent by Epstein that's been sitting on their email servers for nearly a decade?
Stuff like this makes me wonder why there hasn't been any reporting about Trump having affairs during his presidencies
