Celebrate everything. We have to remember what we're fighting for.
I told some folks at the Winter Brain meeting this past week that I didn't feel right posting about our work given all that is happening in the world... but talking about it made me realize that we cannot forget about the joy of our work, and the critical role that American science plays...

The High Court just refused Sex Matters' permission to ban trans women from the Hampstead ponds. We're relieved that the ponds can remain a place where trans people have always belonged.
Thank you to the all the people that pushed back against division.
