Kleokritos the kinaidos: "He was lampooned as a weakling, a kinaidos, a foreigner, of low birth, and a son [sic] of Cybele, since effeminate men were present at the mysteries of Rhea (Cybele). He also looked like a bird. Thus goes the saying about kinaidoi" (The Suda)

“... Trump administration reversed a ban on so-called "cyanide bombs" on public lands. These spring-loaded traps, known as M-44 devices, are meant to kill coyotes and other predators. But they are indiscriminate, dangerous, and capable of harming far more than their intended targets”

A history of the UK media’s transphobic addiction, from @ludovicparsons.bsky.social 

Some Roman, Greek writers did recognize how 'masculine women' existed, though often looked at with scorn as aberrations going against nature—typical Kyriarchal views; noted as behaving masculine, bearing being manly as their posture, cutting their somewhat hair shorter, speaking lower etc etc..

A floor above sat Cercle Hermaphroditos, informal organisation of around 20 people—all ultra-androgyne—, its quasi leader the pseudonymous Roland Reeves. They kept storage of feminine clothing they'd don together whilst conversing about actualities & injustices against those 'sexually intermediate'

It's up to me if building a picket fence & barn in a vintage ball-gown with crinoline in the sweltering heat is a definition of my femininity 😌🌸 It's up to me if I want to see prettying myself up in máscara, eyeliner & pink blush as an extension of my masculinity 🫴✨😌

There's no such thing as "man's work" or "woman's work." Just work that needs doing. Teach your daughters to use a drill. Teach your sons to sew a button. Competence has no gender. What life skill are you teaching the next generation? 🛠️ #LifeSkills #Parenting #DIY #Equality #Teaching

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed an HIV vaccine candidate that achieves something never before observed in the field: inducing detectable neutralizing antibodies (nAbs) against HIV within just THREE weeks after a SINGLE immunization which was further INCREASED after an additional booster.
