If you can't beat 'em, eat 'em?
Really?
Our new opinion piece in @pnas.org defends that the so-called invasivorism is not an effective management strategy. In most cases, it is not even a strategy

if your continued academic freedom depends on what material you decide to teach or research, you don’t have academic freedom
if your continued role in university governance depends on how you react to a proposal, you don’t have a role in university governance
“prevention” can be a form of mourning
1. Idaho banned the pride flag on government property. So Boise made the pride flag their official city flag, which allowed them to fly it.
Then Idaho banned new city flags.
So in response, Boise has now wrapped the poles themselves in rainbows!

Pride in STEM is 10 this month, and we are so proud to celebrate these 10 change-makers who were proposed and voted in by the community.

And in horrifying news, Idaho's governor has signed the felony bathroom ban, with 5 year penalties for second offense bathroom usage, into law.
This is the most significant criminalization of trans people to date.
On trans day of visibility no less.
It will require a new "Do not travel" warning.
Thanks for doing this!

It's Trans Day of Visibility today. If you're trans and are raising money for something (I don't care what it is), reply to this thread and I will boost you.
If you are a cis person, take a look and find someone to support if you can.
Everyone give this a share after.
this #TDoV thread is now complete, please check it out!
It's Trans Day of Visibility and I wrote about how visibility without protection is a trap, and it often seems like the loudest calls for us to be visible are coming from those who have done nothing to protect us.

Happy Trans Day of Visibility #TDOV
We're not going anywhere.
I was planning to co-chair an EDI session and give a talk at SCAS-IAGLR in Winnipeg in May.
I applied for funding but don't think I was successful since early registration ends soon and I haven't heard back. 🫠
So, on the off chance a wealthy benefactor is reading this -

The latest episode of Philosophy Tube is about conversion therapy, why it’s still legal in the UK, and the ways the British government is implicated in it making it NHS policy.
Proud to expose this stuff ✊

yep
wow, this is like a Legion of Doom of anti-trans researchers – spread the word!
Three panel comic. Panel 1: a man in a tie looks miserable, head in hands, while sitting at a bus stop in the city. He’s thinking, “can’t believe I have work today…” Panel 2: he looks up at the city to find it ablaze, actively being destroyed by the Cloverfield monster/kaiju. Panel 3: the man looks off to the side and makes a mildly surprised expression with a cute subtle smile.
1. The scientists behind the infamous ROGD/Social Contagion myth have released a new study called AYAGDOS, and are recruiting unsuspecting trans youth.
They're operating under Northwestern.
Community leaders need help spreading the word to avoid the study.

There is nowhere to flee. There is no idyllic pasture to make a cabin in and homestead alone that will not burn down. There is no island that will not be inundated by rising seas. All we have is one another and our power if we decide to work together instead of splitting apart.
If any news outlets are covering this and want to talk to a trans Genomics PhD who specialized in human genetics and the evolution of sex, please reach out to me
This is complete nonsense scientifically. It's fascist eugenics, not biology
Setting a horrifying precedent for genocide
For Americans fortunate enough to be physically able to leave the US and who wish to do so, if you have a Canadian ancestor you may now be able to obtain Canadian Citizenship.

This has been part of the trans-kids moral panic for years, gay adults going "If I grew up now, they'd convince me I'm trans."
If your movement had real evidence, you wouldn't be pointing to alternative-universe hypotheticals! Child psychologists know the difference between gay kids and trans kids

New polling on strong “framing effect” of trans issues.
Should minors be able to get GAC?
Opposed 57-28% net -29%
Should minors be be able to get doctor-recommended GAC after diagnosis.
Supported 44-28%, net +16%
That's a 45% swing.
So when you apply for ODSP they ask for your "sex at birth" (wtaf). When I replied "my birth certificate says X", they told me I needed to pick either M or F. I told them to flip a coin as either is incorrect.
Wild idea, but I think the ON government should have to accept ON birth certificates.
Post a pic you took, no context, to bring some zen to the feed.
9. As a result of this extreme anti-transgender law, the state of Kansas has seen its status deteriorate to a "Do Not Travel" warning in the EITM Trans Risk Map. Transgender people should exercise extreme caution when traveling through the state.
I did read the law and project this, but as it's coming to pass I find myself still capable of being shocked at how far the country I grew up in has fallen.
It is not a free country if a person can drive to work and be arrested for being transgender and having once legally changed their documents.
Two dogs, a black potcake (50lbs) and a smaller tricolor beagle (20lbs) laying in bed together, butt to butt. Cheek to cheek, you could say. And I did.
🎶Heaven, I'm in heaven
And the cares that hung around me through the week
Seem to vanish like a gambler's lucky streak
When my dogs are out here sleeping cheek to cheek🎶
Have to share this on Blue Sky so I hit all the platforms.
No better way to celebrate #NISAW2026 than knowing that boaters who are aware of Stop Aquatic Hitchhikers and Clean Drain Dry are more likely to perform AIS prevention actions.
SAH! SAH! SAH! SAH!
