Confronting TRANSPHOBIA in the Secular Movement?!
YouTube video by Arden Hart Confronting TRANSPHOBIA in the Secular Movement?!

We're working on getting all of the sessions up ASAP, but you should definitely check out @theardenhart.bsky.social's great talk at #AACON2025 about confronting transphobia in secular spaces. Important topic from a great speaker β€” and person. So glad to have her.

Sex Predators
YouTube video by Rebecca Watson (Skepchick) Sex Predators

Incredible. It is so unbelievably common that the men accusing trans women of being sex predators are themselves sex predators that just the accusation alone should be seen as a red flag at this point

It'd be really cool to see a discussion about the REAL "War on Science" between @hankgreen.bsky.social and @gmskeptic.bsky.social ! Fingers crossed this could happen!

Will add this so it’s explicit:
Hank - you’re invited to come on my channel (Genetically Modified Skeptic) for this! My audience would love to hear what you have to say about real threats to science right now.

Hi, Hank! I made a detailed video about this book alongside @friendlyatheist.com

We’d love to talk to you about this if you’re interested! We’ve been privy to the details of their rightward movement for a long time, but want to talk about the defunding of science further!

I helped write a video for my buddy @gmskeptic.bsky.social about a new book that complains about the "war on science" being waged by... liberals.

(Somehow, Republicans defunding cancer research isn't a big deal to the contributors.)

That subreddit insists I’m an extreme anti-theist, even though I’ve said I’m a pluralist more times than I can count.

As a Zillennial, I often feel like I live in a completely different reality than people my age and younger because I deleted TikTok after using it for a week in 2020.

A good decision, but I swear it dramatically affects the way I relate to and make friends with people.

New German, Swiss, And Austrian Guidelines Recommend Trans Youth Care, Slam Cass Review The recommendations, released by the Association of the Scientific Medical Societies in Germany, come at a time when US politicians erroneously claim that Europe is "pulling back" on transgender care.

It's genuinely hard to keep track of how many other countries have recently reviewed trans healthcare for kids and come up with literally the polar opposite of the "Cass Review"

Australia, Canada, France, Poland and now Germany, Austria and Switzerland

Biological Sex is chromosomes, hormones, gametes, gonads, a whole load of epigenetic stuff, various organs like breasts etc

The only reason transphobes go on and on about chromosomes is because they are the only part you can't change with transition, not because they're important. They aren't
