As LGBTQ+ STEM professionals, our identities in both spheres have become targets for political attack. We know from firsthand experience how important our voices and visibility are in making positive change.

Today is Int'l Transgender Day of Visibility. In celebration, we're recognizing a few incredible, openly trans figures in STEM: Angelica Ross, Dr. Karissa Sanbonmatsu, Dr. Ben Barres, & Col. Bree Fram. While only a short list, we applaud them for their achievements in both STEM and their activism.

This is why it is so important that our scientific societies speak out against factual inaccuracies like in the sex EO.
Reyes highlights the inaccurate biological reality of the January 20th "sex" definition EO's claim that there are only two sexes.

"This executive order is premised on an incorrect biological assessment," she tells the DOJ lawyer, Lynch, who has no response.

Check out our op-ed in The Hill on the science of sex and gender. Please share it with folks in and outside of the scientific community. We're planning more in response to this administration's attacks on trans and non-binary people and related research. Stay tuned!

@travisyork.bsky.social leading a discussion on QTPIE's research with Drs. James Garvey and C.V. Dolan. Key takeaways: Sexual orientation and gender data collection is still in its infancy in both academic and employment settings. Perceptions and identity affect support for SOGI data collection.

By now, we’ve all seen the Trump administration’s executive orders erroneously restricting gender to two biological sexes, banning trans student athletes from competing, and attempting to erase any language related to DEIA (diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility) from the government,
