The Dutch equivalent of Cass, (except it’s a proper scientific review not pseudoscientific drivel like Cass) has wholeheartedly endorsed puberty-blockers and full gender affirming care for young trans people.
Landmark Official Dutch Review Recommends Trans Youth Care, Call For Expanding Treatment
The review finds that wait times must be shortened, that few people detransition, and that trans youth care has enormous benefits.

My husband has taught human reproduction and development to the Cambridge medics for over three decades. When people start banging on about "only two biological sexes" he starts with "which sex: genetic, hormonal, or gonadal"? Biological sex is not binary. www.scientificamerican.com/article/sex-...
Sex Redefined: The Idea of 2 Sexes Is Overly Simplistic
Biologists now think there is a larger spectrum than just binary female and male

we made a critical error allowing reactionaries to make-up concepts like “biological sex” and frame them as non-ideological when it’s the exact opposite: people who undergo HRT *are literally changing their biological sex.* this is not some philosophical distinction, it is actual biological reality.
This will simultaneously cause a massive testosterone shortage for transmasc people And leave thousands of military personnel with fertility issues for being unnecessarily put on T Which is the goal. Those in charge see military members as lesser and expendable. Part of their larger eugenic plans
Hegseth announced they're gonna start screening for T and administering testosterone treatment for warriors found wanting
Our founder Dr. Jey the Science They @jeymccreight.bsky.social highlights the importance of checking citations in the latest Supreme Court ruling on trans participation in sports The opinion of one philosophy professor does not outweigh the scientific consensus of the whole field of biomedicine
Chromosomes are biological. Hormones are biological. Anatomy is biological. Behaviour is biological. Reifying one of the many aspects of sex as the only true definition of ‘biological sex’ is a political statement that I refuse to endorse.
Clarence Thomas is not a biology expert Sex is bimodal - it's why intersex people exist Sex is mutable - it's why HRT works Transness is innate - it's why we have existed throughout human history and across cultures He and the court are the ones who lie
Clarence Thomas's concurring opinion in the trans sports ban case in West Virginia contains some of the ugliest transphobic stuff I have ever seen in a legal opinion. Straight-up gleeful. Vile man. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...
Before I transitioned, I ironically was accused of being a secret trans woman all the time simply because I was 5'11" Are all tall girls going to have invasive genital inspections or unnecessary genetic testing now? What a sham of a ruling devoid of both logic and empathy
The ban is heinous for what it does to transgender athletes. But if you think cisgender girls and young women won’t be caught up in the fallout, too, you are woefully ignorant
“I founded @beyondxandy.bsky.social not because I think scientific arguments will convince the far right. But some people do still trust science, and need real information out there to combat propaganda. I've had hundreds of people tell me I've changed their mind just from explaining the facts.” 🧵:
Yesterday I had the honor to speak at Chicago's Trans Liberation March about @beyondxandy.bsky.social I thought I'd share my speech here: Us trans folk often joke that we need to learn the equivalent of a PhD in biology just to defend our existence. Well, I actually went and did it. 🧵 1/X
Hello! I AM a biology (genetics) expert and can confirm 100% of this is true. I've seen firsthand hundreds of differences in sexual development (dsd's) in dogs. It's leaning into grade-3-level misconceptions of biology that drive these politically motivated decisions.

Are you an actual biology expert that understands why sex is not a simple, immutable binary? Quote our post below with examples from your area of expertise We need more scientists speaking up against this nonsense. Propaganda must be countered with actual biology! 🧬

Without even taking into account the fact that sex and gender are not the same thing, there are so many more sexes than male and female. Someone could, for instance, have an XX karyotype but one of their X chromosomes has a fused SR-Y gene resulting in them looking like a man, despite being XX.

Seahorses flip the script on pregnancy Females deposit eggs into the male's brood pouch, where he fertilizes the eggs He carries the embryos as they develop, and then gives birth Trust the real science: Biology is nonbinary 🏳️⚧️🧬
