I am a trans man. My biology will always show I was born female, my sex is female(the whole point of “trans”), my GENDER IS MALE. I don’t care about the chromosomes, I don’t care what the archeologists say about my bones 500 years from now. I’m living my life as the man I am and that’s the ONLY thing that matters. My chromosomes are none of your business, my body parts and what I choose to do with them are none of your business. What is your business, is that I identify as male, so that’s how you may identify me, period

The ADHD urge to start working on new interesting things when I get overwhelmed by my current commitments . . . thus doubling the amount of work I need to do.

@Prokaryota sorry to hear this. Our lab is also reeling from a recent rejection

#Glioblastoma is the worst disease, random, hard to treat & essentially terminal.
Brain cancers kill more children & adults <40 than any other cancer but get 2% of funding. We need change.
