Yes, exactly.
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

A coronal mass ejection is en route from the Sun! This footage from GONG reveals two filaments of plasma erupting on the weekend, the latter of which is predicted to reach Earth tomorrow afternoon/evening. A strong geomagnetic storm (and lower-latitude aurora) is possible.

Herpesviruses are a nuisance bigger than they may seem. Not just in MS.
Multiple sclerosis requires Epstein-Barr virus infection as an underpinning, exhibits self-directed antibodies to EBNA1, the virus's nuclear antigen, representing molecular mimicry. This combines with/ genetic risk factors (Figure, compared w/healthy controls)

The NIH announced it will slash billions of dollars of support to universities and research centers.
This is one of the biggest attacks on science we have ever seen. It could dismantle the biomedical research system, shut down clinical trials, and halt development of treatments.

Plasma proteomic evidence for increased β-amyloid pathology after SARS-CoV-2 infection - Nature Medicine
