@nytimes.com There have been a series of more than dubious articles in the NYT recently that seem to cajole or pander to the Trump administration. Those dozens of studies showed no correlation between vaccines and autism. They did not fail to show a link. Words matter.

Scientists at the CDC were ordered late on Friday to withdraw any pending publications, at any scientific journal, that mention terms such as “transgender,” “immigrant,” “LGBT” or “pregnant people.”

Trump’s anti-trans Executive Order is bad BUT it technically defines everyone as female. It states:

“'Female' means a person belonging, at conception, to the sex that produces the large reproductive cell."

Since all fetuses "at conception" are female, Trump just defined EVERYONE as female.

Not everyone will make it alive, many will hurt. But I don’t want to leave an inch that I can occupy. To be loud with queerness & science. Not backing down. Not going back. We’re the resistance. #blacklivesmatter #translivesmatter #mybodymychoice #lgbtq #sciencebitch
