Cate Blanchett is out to increase the representation of women as well as transgender and nonbinary people in filmmaking — but she wonders why it’s only women who are asked to help with this.
In 2020, Swedish neuroscientists put 30 trans and 30 cis research subjects into a brain scanner and showed them pictures of their bodies. Then they showed them images where their body had been morphed to look more masculine or more feminine. The results support the natural order of gender identity.
@markwyner Maybe, but it could also reveal more about a patriarchal society's views of what women and men are. Early days. How did all those people perceive themselves, how close did they already fit stereotypical gender types, etc.
Caitlin Jennings coming out as a lingerie model on a magazine had 0 to do with what a women is and 100% to do with how our patriarchal society portrays women, for example.

The World Professional Association for Transgender Health, WPATH, argues that Hilary Cass of the UK Cass Review lacks the competences needed to make recommendations on transgender youth and transgender health.

Karen Keegan had two different DNA sequences, two genomes, depending on the cell you looked at. Biologist Alfonso Martínez Arias maintains that this chimeric woman is conclusive proof that DNA does not define a person’s identity.

Our tractor's fuel hole is nearly chest high on @dachary so I - being taller - became the one who refills it.
1st I go to grab a 5 gallon can of fuel (~35lbs or ~16kg) and am like "oof!" being caught off guard by the weight. Then, I go to lift it to my chest height to hold it over the tank & I am struggling. I need to get a stool to Captain Morgan my leg on, so that I can rest the can on my raised thigh / knee and tip it in.

I miss-aim, pour some down the tractor's rear & onto the floor. 🤦♀️ Then I get the nozzle in, continue to struggle, and 2 more times end up getting some past the hole.
D's getting frustrated, but can't lift it because of her back.
Eventually she looks at me and says "I wonder if this is one of those hormone things."
I'm like "muscle loss? heh. yeah" At that point it was a pretty big understatement. ;)
Former President Trump said Friday he would roll back transgender student protections enacted last month by the Biden administration “on day one” of his presidency if he is reelected in November.
