A real nightmare scenario here for folks who take a public stand for their queer communities, but also real courage. Jey's old school Science Twitter, and has been using that skillset to organize against gender Lysenkoism. There's a gofundme to help with medical expenses here: gofund.me/ee804efbf

You can find the full story of what happened on my Instagram (video too long for bsky) I would appreciate any signal boosting www.instagram.com/jeymccreight...

🧵on how I was still doing science education on gender affirming care while at the hospital healing This is why I want to become "Dr. Jey the Science They" Not for fame or money... But because it brings me joy to help others learn about science 🧬💖

If you have the means, please consider helping @jeymccreight.bsky.social, a trans science communicator, activist, founder of @beyondxandy.bsky.social and organizer of Transquake. He's a public figure mobilizing support for trans rights and good science, and he was attacked for doing just that

Despite being a victim of a violent hate crime, our founder Dr. Jey is still committed to growing Beyond X&Y to fight transphobia with the power of science

It's the scientific community's duty to fight misinformation, bioessentialism, and eugenics That's why we're launching Beyond X&Y, an educational campaign combating the rise of unscientific political propaganda used to attack trans and intersex people Subscribe to our newsletter at beyondxandy.org

My first repost on here. Possibly the only one I will do, at least for a while. Jey is not only an incredible activist who has already made so much in the way meaningful impact on the world, they are also my friend and lovely person.

I have no words, I’ve known Jey for 20 years and he is one of the most decent, intelligent human beings on the planet. That something like this could happen is monstrous beyond imagining

I knew this dude in college, he was trying to make things better even back then. (not an easy thing to do in Indiana). Someone attacking him is just awful.

Our founder was a victim of a violent hate crime just days after our official launch event Please help Jey out by spreading the word or making a donation to assist with their recovery Any extra funds will be used to help build Beyond X&Y, which they are still committed to building despite this

In case you were worried by the lack of posts... Dr. Jey the Science They did *NOT* get struck by lightning during Transquake They're alive and well, doing local community events in Chicago 💖

💯 Doctors too, btw “scientists have a duty to push back on ideas that are unscientific and being used to harm people”

We love the enthusiasm! 😍 Our Chicago event was sold out and a complete blast There'll be lots more fun queer science events throughout the summer in Chicago, and @jeymccreight.bsky.social will be doing speaking events across the country... So stay tuned!

I teared up reading this. Jake really did my story justice and understood my message, when I could have been very easily treated as "just a joke" Let's do this, y'all Time to fight for trans rights with the powers of science and whimsy combined! 🏳️‍⚧️ 🧬 💖 @beyondxandy.bsky.social

Even if transphobes "succeeded" in this genocide, they'd still fail Eugenics doesn't work because people will always be born with the mutations they try to "purge" Trans people will be born forever *because* we are a result of how biology works Brianna Wu is both evil and ignorant

What a huge victory for trans rights! When you have both science and love on your side, you win 🧬 💖

They lack both ethics and compassion, *and* scientific expertise That's why as a trans geneticist and science communicator, I just launched @beyondxandy.bsky.social to fight unscientific, transphobic nonsense Because older trans folk like me need to fight for trans kids...

We think it's time for a little scientific experiment... Stay tuned 🧐

“It would be absurd to argue that having more psychiatric appointments 2+ years after *referral to a psychiatrist* was an indicator of issues with mental health.”

Hungary was the playbook for anti LGBTQ policy in the west. Don't say gay in Florida was modeled on policies adopted there, which they modeled off of Russia. Same with ending legal recognition of trans people. They restricted access to transition care in 2020. www.hrw.org/news/2023/02...

I'm looking for Chicago trans performers (comedians, musicians, drag) for my DNA Day launch party for @beyondxandy.bsky.social on Sat April 25. Bonus if you have content around biology, science, or medicine. If you're interested or know someone who might be, please email me at [email protected]

"I am a human, not a martyr" My message for today's #TransDayofVisibility march in Chicago. I have no regrets about transitioning and will not be silent Follow @beyondxandy.bsky.social for future updates about my org that is going to defend trans rights with science Stay tuned for April 25 👀🏳️‍⚧️🧬

Great 🧵 summarizing the complexity of genetic sex "Gender critical" transphobia is fundamentally fascist, religious idealogy Not biological reality

Happy #TransDayofVisibility from a trans geneticist who's full of joy @beyondxandy.bsky.social

a good thread but I want to add: literally all of every sport favors people with genetic advantages but no one complains when cis men have them Michael Phelps’ muscles produce HALF the lactic acid as an average cis man, meaning he can go twice as long before tiring is that unfair? nobody cared
