My husband has taught human reproduction and development to the Cambridge medics for over three decades. When people start banging on about "only two biological sexes" he starts with "which sex: genetic, hormonal, or gonadal"?

Biological sex is not binary. www.scientificamerican.com/article/sex-...
Sex Redefined: The Idea of 2 Sexes Is Overly Simplistic
Biologists now think there is a larger spectrum than just binary female and male

Hope is in the sharing and – Lord knows – we all need some of that right now. Here's a small collection of mighty things, people, art and ideas that have brought us some hopeful joy recently. Give us yours in the comments below. Who or what or where would you recommend?
Illustration for Lent 2025 depicting three pins labeled "sexism," "Canon 1024," and "patriarchy," encircling the Earth, promoting women's empowerment. Cover of Shibboleth magazine featuring the bold message "WAR IS OVER! IF YOU WANT IT," highlighting themes of resistance and renewal. Chris Read plays guitar in a vibrant BBC radio studio, with microphones and a child seated nearby, engaged in the atmosphere.

This Feb we’re celebrating love. It’s #LGBTHistoryMonth too, and at Greenbelt we’ve been honoured to welcome incredible people who’ve stood for love—from Peter Tatchell to Mpho Tutu van Furth. Their stories remind us that love, like hope, isn’t just a feeling. It’s a practice. It’s in the making.
A vibrant outdoor festival scene with a stage featuring a Greenbelt Festival banner. A crowd is gathered in front, with colorful banners, including one marked OUT. Bright day with scattered clouds. Two people walk on a grassy field towards tents, one with a rainbow flag draped over their shoulders and the other wearing a hat and backpack. Tall purple flags line their path. The text Hope in the Making is displayed vertically on either side. Mpho Tutu, wearing sunglasses and a colorful scarf, speaks on stage. She gestures with her hands while sitting in front of a dark backdrop with circular patterns. Text on the image reads Hope in the Making.
