“Then maybe x-jenda is a better fit? I mean, in algebra, x is an unknown value and you don’t have boobs, you don’t have a penis and you don’t have a vagina—of course you’re an x!”

The greatest amount of MAGA quackery and pseudoscience is directed at trans girls in sports.

The world is inundated with heterosexuality in media, literature and everywhere in between . I mean, completely saturated.

Yet, heterosexual relationships are never categorised as a “social issue” like homosexual relationships are.

No primary evidence base currently exists demonstrating athletic performance advantage to justify @worldathletics.org sex testing or blanket banning of XY female athletes.

My husband has taught human reproduction and development to the Cambridge medics for over three decades. When people start banging on about "only two biological sexes" he starts with "which sex: genetic, hormonal, or gonadal"?

Biological sex is not binary. www.scientificamerican.com/article/sex-...
Sex Redefined: The Idea of 2 Sexes Is Overly Simplistic
Biologists now think there is a larger spectrum than just binary female and male

Koto travelled half-way around the world to be with Sora again. That one furtive kiss catapulted her into nowhere, and for years she went swirling around a turbulent sky. Now, she felt grounded again.

Never before in the realm of human relations have so many vindictive drama merchants been so inexplicably fixated on the private parts of so few.

Physical Fitness & Exercise Performance of Trans Women

There were no significant differences in anaerobic power between cis females & trans women.

There was “NO” differences in any of the physical fitness measures between trans women with & without orchiectomy.

What does the science say about transgender women in sports?

With all the talk about "men" in women's sports, it's time to take a look at what scientific studies say.

A brilliant article 👏👏

A great read, and a sensible solution, for those feeling excluded from #LGBT+ and/or wondering what to do when we run out of letters!
