Wow - what an incredible opportunity!

Michael Phelps is literally referred to as a freak of nature because of his disproportionate wingspan, double jointed ankles, lung capacity twice that of an average human, body that produces half the lactic acid of a typical athlete, and he is rightly celebrated for being the greatest male swimmer in history. Meanwhile, female athletes with genetic differences are legally discriminated against and harassed to no end. This is not about “protecting women in sports” - this is about protecting a very specific idea of what a woman is.

Such glamorous work for plant conservation in the Turks and Caicos Islands!!!! The only way to escape those rotten mosquitoes is to jump on a fast boat 😂 #TIPAs

That XL bully did not create itself, feed itself or train itself. A human was responsible for that, & without tackling the toxic masculinity driving the growing trend for the “strong dog”, any ban could be a misfire.

Brilliant to be working with @Ecolog3stDutz, helping to get the full flora of the Turks and Caicos Islands assessed for the @IUCNRedList!🌺
