A statement from the Board of Trustees of the Vagina Museum regarding trans inclusion.
The Vagina Museum Board of Trustees response to the UK Supreme Court ruling In light of the UK Supreme Court ruling, the Board of Trustees of the Vagina Museum wish to express their unequivocal support of and solidarity with their trans staff, volunteers, community partners, visitors and wider audience. From the outset, the Vagina Museum has always been trans inclusive. An important part of its mission around spreading knowledge and raising awareness of gynaecological anatomy and health has been to challenge normative assumptions around our bodies and how they may or may not be connected to experiences of gender, gender expression and broader sexuality. In doing so, we highlight that sex, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation and other characteristics related to sexual identity exist in various different combinations and their relationship to one another is never clear cut. What is clear to us is that everyone, regardless of their body parts, are deserving of human rights, dignity and the power to identity as they wish to. Just as we act as a forum for women’s reproductive health and rights from a feminist, inclusive and intersectional perspective; we will continue to advocate for trans+, non-binary and queer communities and rights. We cannot talk about feminism unless our feminism includes trans folks. We cannot talk about reproductive rights without trans rights. We cannot advocate for human rights without trans rights. The ruling comes amidst an increasingly frightening climate for trans people in the UK and globally. We will continue to abide by our values, and ensure that the Vagina Museum remains a space in which trans people are included, welcomed and celebrated. In solidarity.

Got round to showing the kids ‘Robin Hood Prince of Thieves’ today and was pleasantly surprised to rediscover that the entire title sequence is simply a lengthy look at the Bayeux Tapestry.

KLAXON 🚨: Indie SAGE has come out of retirement to release a new short report standing up for diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) in the sciences!

DEI is not just the right thing to do, it *improves* the quality of the science. Please read and share.

Some thoughts for folks looking to participate in the March 7-14 boycott of Amazon.

1. Start researching alternatives now. There are, of course, many things that are impossible to find elsewhere, but probably fewer things than you think! (E.g. many libraries let you take out tools!)...

🚨I promised I'd say more on the Royal Society and Elon Musk, so here it is. 🚨

I've resigned my position as Associate Editor at Royal Society's journal Open Science in protest at their lack of action over Elon Musk.

Elon Musk is a proven danger to good science, but the Royal Society won’t say so. That’s why I resigned | Kit Yates
It is vital to act, and I urge colleagues to do so. How can we stand by and laud this man while he undermines scientific integrity? asks academic and author Kit Yates

The most striking result from yesterday’s German election #btw2025 🇩🇪:

🔹 35 years after reunification: The GDR is redrawn on this map.
🔹 The AfD won 45 out of 48 electoral districts in the East.
🔹 In some parts of Saxony, they came close to 50%!

Why is this happening? Here’s my take 👇

A gay guy, a Black man, and a woman walk into a flight deck— that’s not the beginning of a joke, but just a regular day at work! There was so much DEI on this plane that we could hardly get in the air. Luckily my limp wrists were able to wrestle the heavy jet back to the ground 💅🏼

I don't think people appreciate how batshit it is that there's a song we listen to every year, as a classic, that includes the line "The stranger spoke/he said do not fear/I come from a planet a long way from here". Barmey. Brilliant. #DailyChristmasSong www.youtube.com/watch?v=KODs...
