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.

“Defending Women from #Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government”
biological truth, darling science illiterates:
#intersex individuals have been observed in mammals, fish, reptiles, invertebrates, etc
anthropological truth: #trans people have existed in all societies, for all time
but
we can't live real truth
we have to fit simpleton brainfarts from the walnut sized craniums of bigoted pinheads, that "truth"

"Are we alone in the Universe?"
That's the question many have posed throughout the ages.
What if aliens are real? And what if they're neither male nor female but something else? A lot of humans are homophobic and transphobic. They're not going to like that. 👽
"The manufactured controversy surrounding Khelif reveals far more than just misplaced concerns about fairness in women's sports. It exposes a deeper, more insidious agenda that uses the guise of 'protecting women' to reinforce traditional gender roles, control women's bodies, and provide convenient scapegoats for those pushing a regressive social agenda."

Ich gender nicht, da ich ordentliches Deutsch in der Schule gelernt habe!
Die Mehrzahl von etwas ist nicht beispielsweise "Lehrkräft:innen" sondern "die Lehrkräfte" oder eben "der Lehrer und die Lehrerin" oder "alle Lehrerinnen und Lehrer" in ordentlich deutscher Sprache.
Du hast diese meine Meinung genau so zu tolerieren und akzeptieren, wie ich die deine welche anders sein kann.
Wenn du dafür mich verurteilen willst als [irgendeine Beleidigung einfügen] dann mach das, wenn dir das was gibt und dich dadurch besser fühlst.
Ich bin fertig mit dem Thema und zumeist einseitigen Diskussion mit irgendwelchen Fanatikern welche mir eine angebliche neue Rechtschreibung erklären wollen.

Hey, some fun news! Sir Ian McKellen is headlining an all #trans and #nonbinary reading of Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night. It’s a delightful play with much playing with #gender and the understanding of it. I’m very excited and am buying livestream tickets. 🥰

The #Trump admin has sued <California for allowing #transgender athletes to compete on #school sports teams that match their #gender #identity.
The suit alleges that California has violated federal civil rights law by discriminating against women [which doesn’t make any sense].
California officials have denied any wrongdoing & rejected federal demands to bar transgender #athletes from girls’ & women’s school #sports teams.
