It’s Mary Anning’s birthday, so time to share @katebeaton.bsky.social’s brilliant cartoon again.

🧵Spotted While Roaming in Aotearoa New Zealand:

This is such an important issue! There’s a sizeable group of people who are not women and have a cervix and this is one of the biggest health inequalities in screening! To make your content more inclusive, consider swapping “women” for “people” :)
