Addyi is of limited effectiveness and has side effects... also, the % of women who experience sexual "dysfunction" is much lower than most papers/media quote, as distress about sexual problems is still often not assessed

More women experience sexual dysfunction than men. The FDA took 6 months to approve Viagra for men. It took 6 yrs to approve Addyi for sexual dysfunction in pre-menopausal women & 10 more yrs to approve it for post-menopausal women under age 65. time.com/7341012/sexu...

@nytimes.com—women didn't ruin the workplace, but sexual harassment, lack of equal pay, pregnancy discrimination, gender bias, lack of advancement and leadership opportunities, double standards, microaggressions, unaffordable child care, & the glass ceiling certainly did

Faculty senates at Rutgers University, the University of Nebraska at Lincoln, the University of Indiana at Bloomington, and the University of Massachusetts at Amherst have passed resolutions calling for the creation of a mutual-defense compact. chroni.cl/4cBFrnu

ABCqueer [Mar 31] -- Australian researchers have developed what may be the first validated scale to measure 'gender euphoria' -- a common experience among trans people which occurs when one finally feels comfortable in one's own skin and is recognized as such by others. @rikiwilchins.bsky.social

Researchers take a more positive approach to trans identity

Australian researchers have developed a world-first scale to measure an almost universal experience for trans adolescents and adults – gender euphoria – that could have significant implications for me...

It's Transgender Day of Visibility, and I have mixed emotions. So I wrote something about it 😊 (this is the first in a series; the next one is in a few weeks and is about disinformation campaigns) pursuit.unimelb.edu.au/articles/my-...

My mixed emotions on Transgender Day of Visibility

Around the world, trans people are under attack. So, while Transgender Day of Visibility is a celebration, we need to talk about the dread as well, says a University of Melbourne expert.

Do narratives that prioritize women's orgasm during heterosex benefit or constrain women's sexuality? My new article in the Annual Review of Sex Research, covers research supporting...both! Thrilled to finally share this with the world! www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

The Prioritization of Women’s Orgasms During Heterosex: A Critical Feminist Review of the Implications for Women’s Sexual Liberation

Orgasm is considered by many to be an essential part of women’s ideal sexual experiences. As a result, sexual liberation narratives have often advocated for the prioritization of women’s orgasms – ...

A friend included this anti-acknowledgement section on her PhD thesis. She also added the proposition: “Systematic bullying and undermining of girls and women in STEM starts early on and is the reason why they do not stay in science and related fields.” Absurd we still need to go through this 🧪👩‍🔬

There have been people less than helpful in my journey here. I wanted to acknowledge those too, bc I know I am not unique in this experience. No thank you to the physics study assoc that made me sing songs about how women couldn't study physics without sleeping with the professor, the day I stepped into university life. No thank you to the 5th year physics student that decided to assign me a stripper name within the first minute of meeting me in the physics coffee corner in my first year. No thank you to the technician that was responsible for onboarding me on the use of the cluster in my third year who raised his eyebrows and asked me if that meant I was some sort of computer girl. No thank you to the senior researcher that sent me utterly inappropriate texts after a conference, then proceeded to apologise months later by telling me they had not been meant for me anyway so no hard feelings remain hopefully And no thank you to him for attending every conference I've been to since. No thank you to the people who told me that it was surprising that I was doing a PhD since I was a girl. No thank you to the man who mistook me for a coffee lady at a conference, and after having to correct him two times that I did not work there, responded with you should consider it. No thank you to the researcher that asked me what I was wearing underneath my outfit during a conference. No thank you to the physicist who declared to a room full of other physicists that biologists don't know how to design an experiment. No thank you to the people who have called me scary instead of strong and intimidating instead of intelligent. And finally, no thank you to the exec board of the TU Delft, whose knee-jerk reaction to being held up a mirror about the social safety at the university, was to sue the party holding up the mirror instead of looking at the problems they highlighted. ... You have made me feel like I do not belong in science & I cannot forgive you for that.
