Can't promise answers to every question or commentary on every piece of news

We're a volunteer team: Mainly one tired trans science communicator, helped by their queer scientist friends (also tired)

But we at least want to be a resource to stay up to date about science-related trans rights issues

No, *you* represent the viewpoint of most biologists

Every major medical and biology organization accepts that sex is not binary, transness is innate, and that gender affirming care is life saving, evidence based medicine

See a list of statements below: bsky.app/profile/beyo...
We are compiling a list of scientific societies with public statements denouncing bioessentialist claims that sex and gender are strict binaries

If your organization has publicly shown support for transgender, nonbinary, and intersex people, please let us know!

Mushroom evolutionary biologist here.

We’re well aware of the fact that sex and gender isn’t a binary. Happy to talk about the fungus with 28,000 distinct sexual identities anytime.

Trans rights are human rights! 🏳️‍⚧️

Ecologist here, we know plenty about the diversity of life, and as the @britishecologicalsociety.org we actively support the inclusion of trans people alongside all the many ways of simply being human. Dawkins does not represent or speak for us.

Actually see the opposite honestly been told time and time again that diversity in gene expression and behavior is an advantage in species not a take away. I don‘t think you understand evolution and genetics enough if you’re transphobic and homophobic

Well that's odd! It definitely used to work, and they still have resources up at www.evolutionsociety.org/resources-fo...

Hey @sse-evolution.bsky.social , do you know that this link for your statement supporting trans and intersex people is dead?
