Today is Intersex Day of Solidarity and Remembrance. It's an opportunity to highlight the continued struggles faced by intersex people globally, from unnecessary medical intervention or stigma. We all deserve to be treated with dignity, and live a life free from discrimination.

“The Cass Review's contradictions are striking. It acknowledged some trans young people benefit from [blockers], but its recommendations have made this currently inaccessible to all. It found no evidence psychological treatments improve gender dysphoria, yet recommended expanding their provision.”

Biological sex is much more complicated than a binary classification. 👉 www.iflscience.com/a-mosaic-spe...

Researchers at LSBU are recruiting trans and gender nonconforming people (aged 18–24) to take part in in-person "photovoice" workshops into young trans people's experiences of community and inclusive social spaces. Email the researcher at [email protected] to express interest. #TransResearch

This is not a drill! 1 week to deadline! 🚨

@prideinstem.bsky.social's grant program funds nationwide projects that empower LGBTQIA+ scientists. Their goal? Improve representation, grow involvement, and increase retention. That's research-backed change in action. Nov. 18th = International LGBTQIA+ Day in STEM! Learn more at prideinstem.org

The research team also believes that, in their preliminary analysis up to 2024, the trend is intensifying over time! #QueerInSTEM www.eurekalert.org/news-release...

Scientists face many pressures, plenty of which are about identity. For transgender scientists, that pressure can loom particularly large. For a piece in @natmethods.nature.com, Vivien Marx interviewed scientists who identify as transgender and spoke to allies. #LGBTQSTEM #PrideInSTEM #TransInSTEM
