Well I couldn't leave well enough alone and added more shading to this scene. Also here's a bit of a loop animation on it too!

I found a very concise article in Nature that gives a broad overview of the last decade and a half of research in sex and genetics and it's got a whole host of references to original research in the bibliography at the bottom.

Handily, Nature provides a 4 page PDF format of it that you can get here: https://www.nature.com/polopoly_fs/1.16943!/menu/main/topColumns/topLeftColumn/pdf/518288a.pdf

Fax it to your regional DHHS rep with a cover letter supporting trans people!

Find their fax number here: http://www.suzaneraslan.net/fight-dhhs-gender-definition

I've updated the page with more details on remote actions such as calling and faxing, now with:

• Phone script! (thank you @benhamill for leading the charge, and @mooncake and @feli for additional input)

• More info on faxing (thank you, @celesteh) with a link to a PDF of a great article in Nature that succinctly refutes any scientific argument for this proposal

I suspended albin.social but not for exactly the same reason as everyone else. I did it because i think the principle of cutting off commercial instances before they gain traction is the only way to keep the fediverse from being colonized by commercial forces.

L'heure magique.

Does anyone still have communication with someone who used to go by the handle “gloomy sheep”? I used to talk to them and I wanna try to talk to them again.

US Department of Health and Human Services is proposing a legal change to the definition of #gender (!), putting recent advances in #transgender rights at serious risk https://www.cnbc.com/2018/10/21/trump-admin-reportedly-aims-to-refine-legal-definition-of-gender.html

petition to replace "female/male usb/hdmi/etc port" with "top/bottom port"

the thing that fucks me off about the response to that awful trump admin transphobia is people being like "just being alive whilst being trans is political dissent" etc.

we shouldn't be accepting that. we shouldn't be accepting the politicising of minority identities.

i feel like as a cis-ish queer i at least get to choose to politicise myself. my (much less interested in politics) trans partner does not. that's bullshit !!!!

This is not a time to debate or discuss how this is par for the course, how this is just republicans being republicans, how we need to take back the house.

This is an EMERGENCY, not a conversation. This is a CALL TO ARMS, not a get out the vote effort.

Get your feet in your boots, get your boots or wheels on the ground, and get protesting to protect our trans comrades. Put on your privilege armor and get the fuck out in the streets. NOW.

Did it! and just on time for #screenshotsaturday

Who is in #NYC and up for protesting the US Dept of Health and Human Services over this horrifying "biological definition of gender" proposal tomorrow, Monday, October 21st, at 3:00 PM?

They close at 5:00, so even if people go home early, we can get in their faces.

Location is 26 Federal Plaza, New York, NY 10278.
