I’m looking for speakers for a London event on the science of Star Trek. I’d really appreciate suggestions from underrepresented minorities in STEM, especially PoC/global majority.

The Suffragettes are far more well-known in Britain, despite the Suffragist movement having been much larger

Suffragettes: 85% (68% positive)
Suffragists: 31% (21% positive)

We've just learned that the person at the MHRA whose letter caused Wes 'I follow the clinical evidence' Streeting to cancel the puberty blockers trial is Professor Jacob George, the GC who enjoyed mocking trans people on his social media account.

Why did Wes Streeting cover up his name?

trolley problem diagram, with Sisyhpus pushing his boulder as the trolley car, and text that reads:

Sisyphus is rolling a boluder towards the Grand Hilbert Hotel. The hotel has an infinite number of rooms, but they are all full, so they may not be able to accomodate him or his boulder.

If you choose to divert him, his boulder will destroy the Ship of Theseus.  But the ship has had all of its constituent parts replaced, so it may not actually be the same ship.

Is Sisyphus happy?

What we see here is Donald Trump, acting as he always does, as a global chaos generator.

The further we stand away from that, the better off we will be.

She’d Never Changed Her Gender Marker. Kansas Invalidated Her License Anyway. β€” Assigned A trans Kansas resident recently changed her name but not her gender marker on her license, fearing what Kansas may do if she did. The Kansas DMV still flagged her ID.

This story, from @natezuke.bsky.social, is absolutely wild. A trans woman who never changed her gender marker was issued a letter invalidating her license. At the DMV they cut up her license, which had an "M" marker.

Turns out lowering bills, protecting the NHS and rebuilding our public services is really popular.

This is just the beginning - people are seeing through the attacks and demanding something better.

And we're making hope normal again - together.

Today is Rare Diseases Day.

Approximately 110,000 people in Northern Ireland are living with a rare disease, which is about 1 in 17.

In that group of 110,000 people, there are about 4,000 people in NI living with Ehlers Danlos Syndrome; a condition that personally affects me.

Looks like the fact that this was not picked up by the MHRA suggests that either this GC was appointed despite being a TERF or that the MHRA, like Starmer, β€œdidn’t know”…

BREAKING: it appears that the MHRA, in control of the UK puberty blocker trial, appointed a senior officer who had previously mocked supporters of trans rights online.

Recusal is not enough here. He and those responsible for appointing him should resign.

How can trans people trust them now?
