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"?

Sex Redefined: The Idea of 2 Sexes Is Overly Simplistic
Biologists now think there is a larger spectrum than just binary female and male

A thread in which I try to show some of the harmful practical effects on the quality of its analysis of the Supreme Court's appalling and delegitimating decision to exclude all trans voices from a judgment with profound effects on trans people's lives.
Having excluded all trans people from proceedings before it, the Supreme Court decides in favour of For Some Women Scotland.

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a man is incapable of being a monster without a woman (or women in general) being somehow responsible.

Last week I visited San Francisco for the first time and went for a ride in a Waymo!
As a woman, I’ve genuinely never felt safer in a taxi, even though there was no driver 🙃 #autonomous #selfdrivingcar

Remember in the movie “Aliens” when no one listened to the woman and then everyone died? That’s what the vibe feels like right now.

This summary entirely chimes with my experience reporting on media use in the UK general election. Lots of people weren’t consuming any news directly yet were still weirdly aware of a lot of the big scandals or allegations. They didn’t even know how the story had reached them, it just sort of… had.

In a surprise development for everyone, my first BlueSky post is actually an important one… please sign this petition to decriminalise abortion in the UK: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...
Petition: Decriminalise Abortion
I am calling on the UK government to remove abortion from criminal law so that no pregnant person can be criminalised for procuring their own abortion.
