The Pulitzer Center’s Fighting Words Poetry Contest invites students to write poems in relation articles they have published. One of the finalists wrote on the article by @simonesun.bsky.social and I, and the poem is truly touching! 🥺🏳️⚧️

For Nature’s new series on sex/gender, I wrote with the amazing Shari Brightly-Brown and G Nic Rider about gender modality, the limits of the cis/trans binary, and how to study gender more respectfully and accurately.

Happy Pride. A reminder to everyone that biology is queer, sex is not binary, social constructs are created by biological organisms, and that science does not support your homo-, queer-, and transphobias. 🧪 🏳️🌈 🏳️⚧️

Math is great, but to believe that all of Life can be captured by a set of equations is quite an exercise in self-aggrandizement.

It’s frankly laughable how long gene-centered New Synthesis biologists have gotten away with proclaiming they solved biology 🧬

Science is really just looking at dots and lines and figuring out what they could possibly mean.

Exactly. It's not "essential." It's important, but contextually dependent.

This is NOT how you responsibly talk about the importance of sex and gender in Science. There's TERF-speak "identified as transgender" in the photo caption. NOT A SINGLE mention of trans/nb people in the text. Instead, our existence is "debated."
Worse than useless.

This has now been confirmed as genuine. And the journalist who’s organising it is one of the biggest transphobes at the paper. If The Guardian contacts you, tell them to get fucked. bsky.app/profile/khat...
