This also sorta sounds like a trinitarian formula lol:

in nomine sequential et hermaphoriditism et Crepidula fornicata
"sequential hermaphroditism in Crepidula fornicata" - at least an album title
This is a terrific talk by Jon Ablett on the Linnean Society's shell collection, replete with a delightfully rude account of sequential hermaphroditism in Crepidula fornicata involving cheap sperm and Roman prostitutes (there are pseudopenises too!). Well worth watching . . . 🌈🐚 #queer #sex #nature

Shore-ly you didn't miss our most recent Linnean Lens talk?

It's time to shell-ebrate as it's now available to watch on our YouTube channel-three guesses what it's about!

Join Job Ablett as he uses his 22+ years of experience to show and tell about the amazing specimens in the Linnean's collection

Forstater, a career-liar who stated she held no animus towards trans women, now referring to us as “cross dressing men”

The level of raw hatred and dehumanisation is off the charts. Perhaps even saying ‘trans’ is too much for her now.

She’s enjoying it. How will this genuine Nazi, end her days?

The British government: always ignoring actual science when they can do some performative security theater instead.
Thinking about Brianna Ghey while reading this article on screen time and bullying. Labour are using her name to push for a crackdown on phone use among teens.

But this research indicates increased screen time does *not* correlate with increased bullying for trans kids - unlike their cis peers.
Developmental Effects of Screen Time on Gender Diverse Student’s Experiences of Bullying Victimization
We used a large state-wide sample of adolescent students in 8th, 10th, and 12th grades (N = 58,689) to examine the predictive value of screen time on bullying victimization, as well as its interact...

Yep.
Men do not need to put on a dress and go into a public restroom to abuse women and children.

They usually just go home. Or don a clerical collar. Or wear a badge. Or run for office.

Or they just do it in public, wearing pants.
Following on what @miawong.bsky.social and @riotlinguist.bsky.social and others have said, it's worth repeating that the majority of rape is committed against kids and teenagers (<20yo) obviously mainly girls + mostly by adult/teen cis men. Rape culture is inherently CSA culture!

NEW: We’ve uncovered the first known example of taxpayer money flowing from DHS to businesses controlled by Kristi Noem’s allies and friends.

It’s part of a money trail that’s been shrouded in secrecy—and involves $220 million, a mysterious Delaware LLC & a horse named Gill.

If you genuinely care about trans people you need to give up on the institutionally transphobic labour party, the rot is too deep to save it. Defect to the Greens like so many others.

Tbh, it's even worse than that, not openly calling for our erradication is too pro trans in their eyes.

Like, it was official bbc policy that trans people could not talk about our issues on the bbc without a GC also being on as a counterpoint. No such policy wrt GC's needing a counter balance.

I accompanied my son to his top surgery appointment. As he came round after the anaesthetic, I noticed that despite post-operative discomfort, his shoulders were un-hunched for the first time in years. Literally, a weight lifted from him. 18 months on, he's so much happier.

"Healthy breasts" [Mail]

One of the 'girls' mentioned here is 24. Another is 22. Another is 21.

The mother of the 24yo is 'livid' and discusses where they would have 'discarded' these breasts. Doesn't seem to care her child is happy.

They're all referred to as 'daughters' and 'her'.

Very convenient to be able to shove the transphobia that got this girl killed under the carpet and blame phones instead and be able to deny any criticism like that

Maybe Esther doesn’t think its insulting, but its rubbing salt in the wound to the whole trans community

It is deeply insulting to Brianna Ghey's memory to pretend that a campaign backed by the likes of Rosie Duffield is doing anything to help children like her.

We've seen her reaction to a trans person discussing their suicidal ideation.
When Rosie Duffield is in on it I think we can safely say the anti-phone campaign in Brianna's name is actively at odds with tackling transphobia

so, what measures are you taking as a government to keep trans kids and adults safer? are you going to fix the equality act to be more explicit in its protections for trans people after the spurious supreme court ruling?
are you going to reverse the healthcare bans?
