Way back when she was a mere 3 months on HRT, Elise found herself at a dead end. The sheer amount of new options she had at her disposal for exploring her presentation had her overwhelmed! How does one even start?

I don't think we're talking enough about the fact that the pressure to remove DEI from science means women die.

Summary of the infuriating blockade of US medical research
“This crisis...has already consumed one funding cycle” Carole LaBonne said. “But if this block to publishing in the register continues on much longer, it’s going to swallow two funding cycles, and that will put many labs out of business.”🧪⚕️

The story also had a sad epilogue. The International Centre for Diarrhoeal Disease Research, Bangladesh, where Qadri works, is one of South Asia's top scientific institutes. But it has laid off 1000 workers in response to the freeze on US foreign aid. www.science.org/content/arti...
The fight against cholera is far from over. This Bangladeshi scientist is at the front lines

This is infuriating and heartbreaking. As a reminder, an EO is NOT a law and not legally binding.

The fact that this Executive Order just classified ALL athletes as "female" (or sexless) due to their imbecilic 2nd grader understanding of science is endlessly amusing.

Well… congrats Republican bigots. You got something that changes nothing in your lives & sold your country & future to get it.
But you managed to hurt the smallest. most vulnerable group of people, so you get to feel like you are above someone else.
Hint: You are not. You're stupid. And you suck.

Section 3: Trump will use the same powers he has used to line by line defund other things he doesn't like, to defund schools that allow trans participation in sports - a tyrannical and unprecedented coup of power that will continue here.
He also will launch title IX investigations on schools.

Section 1: Boilerplate anti-trans sports language. Says that "men" should not be able to compete in women's sports, determining trans women are "men." Wide sports applicability (likely means sports like dancing, darts, disc golf, and even chess, all handled by intramural depts at many colleges)
