Here's what happens when you ask actual biologists to put the complexity of this beautiful world into convenient little boxes for you
That last is not taught anywhere in biology class

There is no such thing as an apolitical company. "No politics at work" means "we support the status quo and will enforce it by firing people who disagree".

I’m assuming Aaron Rodgers will forego the opinion of an orthopedic surgeon and instead seek medical advice from Joe Rogan?

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1989: 61-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 399-to-1 CEOs keep pretending they can't afford to pay workers fairly while they rake in millions off of workers' labor. Don't fall for this illusion of scarcity.

Second-biggest owner of Twitter is executing a man for his tweets. Silence from the owner of Twitter, who is a self-styled ‘free speech absolutist.’ Not even a “concerning”.
A Saudi court has sentenced a man to death based solely on his Twitter& YouTube activity. Repression has reached a terrifying new stage when a court can hand down the death penalty for nothing more than tweets. Saudi authorities should quash the verdict. hrw.org/news/2023/08/29/saud…

i missed out on teenage love. i missed out on attending high school as a girl. i missed out on being asked to prom, to being romanced during my formative years, to failing in my femininity early on when it was socially acceptable to do so. i'm homesick for a place i've never been

Transgender people are multifaceted and have so much going on besides just being transgender. We're not a monolith. Most people who transitioned as adults wish they could have started earlier. Restricting our access to the means of transition will never help us or "protect us"

That hormones for teenagers prevent surgeries, not encourage them. The only reason I’ve had surgeries at all is because of the unwanted changes I went through from forced male puberty. Had that been prevented, I wouldn’t have needed these. Puberty blockers prevent surgeries.

5/6/1933, exactly 90 years ago today the Nazis sacked Magnus Hirschfeld's Institute of Sexology, destroying countless scientific research into queer Healthcare including transition procedures for trans people. The most famous pictures of a Nazi book-burning are from this event.

There’s no denying Giannis came up short, but this response to “failure” was fascinating. All parents should watch & show their kids.

Something inherently funny about the phrase "Disney regrets that it has come to this"
News: Disney has filed a lawsuit against Ron DeSantis, alleging a "targeted campaign of government retaliation" over "protected speech" that "threatens Disney's business operations" and "violates its constitutional rights." "Disney regrets that it has come to this."

I have reinstalled Twitter to respond to this story and make sure my voice is fully heard. I am Casey. My real name is Alex but my mom decided it would be best to hide it for anonymity. But this is my story, not hers. This is not the free press’s story.
Caroline was told that a puberty blocker would relieve her child's psychological distress. That's not what happened. More reporting from inside Washington University's Transgender Center by @EmilyYoffe : thefp.com/p/i-felt-bullied-m…
