I wrote about how we must stand and fight against the threat of eugenics.

Fueled by white nationalism and scientific racism, these beliefs are factually wrong and ethically abhorrent.

This fight includes supporting efforts to diversify our workforce & science. To stop now would be a deep betrayal.
Eugenics is on the rise again: human geneticists must take a stand
Scientists must push back against the threat of rising white nationalism and the dangerous and pseudoscientific ideas of eugenics.

Right bluesky. You ready for a long thread? I saw someone justifying queerness as a "natural" thing because we see it in other organisms. I often challenge the rhetoric of there being "queer", "trans", or "gay" animals. But that's because "queerness" needs challenging.
