Trans and #nonbinary genders are recognised as being real and valid by the NHS and by the UK government.

There’s not two sides to this issue. When there’s a BBC documentary about travel you don’t get flat-earthers on, do you?

Stop inviting anti-trans activists on TV/radio.

Two instructions for journalists and TV/radio presenters looking to make a good piece about #nonbinary people.

1. Don’t use people’s former names, even if they’re kids or you knew them with a different name.

2. Don’t invite someone onto the show to debate their identity.

Jocelyn Bell Burnell will use the $3 million Special Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics money to set up a special scholarship fund to counter "unconscious bias" in the physics community by making it easier for women, under-represented ethnic minority and refugee students to become researchers.

sometimes a student mistakenly calls me a professor and I have to correct them by letting them know I'm just a staff person that does research, writes grants, teaches classes, reviews papers, and manages undergrad and grad student work. simple mistake, tho, no harm.

OK, is there a food and cooking-based instance yet, please?

I think toots would be excellent for sharing short recipes.
