Since the 1990s, scientists have known that chemical pollution causes frogs to be sex-reversed or intersex and believed that this is inherently harmful. But in 2019, environmental scientist Max Lambert and Melina Packer, a social scientist, collaborated on investigating the subject through a queer feminist lens, challenging assumptions about masculine and feminine behaviors and the "wrongness" of supposedly "feminized" males. In an extract from a new book, "Feminism in the Wild," reproduced in MIT's The Reader, Packer and her co-author Ambika Kamath explain how this approach led to new discoveries.

Trump admin lies about #ICE being attacked, so they can be the victim.
The Technique is called DARVO
(Deny Attack Reverse Victim & Offender)
But when people see that the "attackers" are people in frog costumes, it visually destroys the lie.
This means us sharing our silly protests on social media is REALLY important.

Thanks to UT herpetologist Tom Devitt, last week I was able to photograph the unusual Texas Cliff Chirping Frog (Eleutherodactylus), which passes through the tadpole stage within the egg, hatching as a fully-formed frog.

Along the trail, there‘s a spot where ground water creates a small pool about the size of a placemat. There’s always this one froggo in it splashing and going at it like it’s the greatest place in the world.
It now has a friend.
