“Variations neither injurious or useful aren’t affected by natural selection but would be left a fluctuating element”.
This is central to the discourse of intersex phenomenon from an evolutionary perspective.

A thread of World War II images you’ve (probably) never seen before

1. Adolf Hitler with 2 of the Goebbels girls. The 2 girls, along with their other 4 siblings, were murdered with cyanide by their parents in 1945.

@SaffronKim I’m terribly sorry xx

[blakequinn @blakequinn77]

@FondOfBeetles Disgraceful. This is possibly the worst take I’ve seen so far.

[blakequinn @blakequinn77]

@moleatthedoor @FondOfBeetles That’s very kind of you :) x

[blakequinn @blakequinn77]

@moleatthedoor @FondOfBeetles I’m deeply embarrassed..

Steven Novella furthers misconceptions of biological sex throughout his article in 3 ways.

1. He claims you can plot "sex" on a bimodal distribution. You can't. Sex is discrete.

In humans, the options are male or female. Traits that VARY BY SEX are bimodal, not sex itself.

[Dr. Jane Clare Jones @janeclarejones]

Translation: It is unlawful for anyone to fire us for not believing your sex denying bullshit.

Clear?

[Frau Mond @LaluchaDora08]

This happened this week (so far) in Germany:

1. The german government presented its draft for self-id during a press conference, stating that TWAW and that therefore they don't see any reason why the risk of abuse against women should be considered. 1/

@salltweets Good luck, Sally. Sorry you’re having to take on unnecessary stress x

[Lissa Evans @LissaKEvans]

Well, here we are: this is the current state of publishing. Bear in mind the infinite elasticity, the endlessly-shifting definition of the word 'transphobic'.
Bear in mind they're even blocking 'small unpublished authors' who have 'liked...or followed' posts or accounts.

[Joanna Cherry KC @joannaccherry]

A girl who said that biological sex is real after a talk about transphobia was surrounded by up to 60 girls who shouted, swore & spat at her. She did not receive the support of the school & is now studying at home for her A levels.

New queer participants have arrived; widening the meaning of queerness to promote inclusivity of the oppressed.

[Elly Arrow @EllyArrow]

Now johns are #queer because supposedly paying for #prostitution is some huge aberration of behaviour under patriarchy and not an institution that male dominated groups (military, male only professional groups etc) and societies have long at least tolerated frequently celebrated.

There was a lunch and I'm not saying I've only just sobered up enough to type this tweet but at the same time, I'm not not saying that. 💜🤍💚#RespectMySex
