The law agrees. In the UK at least, humans have only two genders.

I knew it!

  Yes, the Supreme Court decision was a very important one – and as clear as day. Organisations acting as if they need to wait for guidance when the law has been the same since 2010 is deeply dishonest.

Well she also caused much uproar on Twitter when she said that ‘ Rising Christian nationalism is a threat to us all.’

I can’t wait to read her take on certain other religions! ( One in particular!)

  Yes, it’s just never going to happen. It’s another area where thought-terminating cliches rule, such as “A religion of peace”.

Thank you for taking the time to write this. As a biologist (hah!) I find bad-faith arguments like dr Helm’s incredibly irritating, and don’t even get me started on the “let me explain this to you kiddos” faux bonhomie they invariably come wrapped in.

It is interesting that these attempts to redefine biological sex itself as a non-binary phenomenon have all emerged in online forums very suddenly and very recently. I suspect it’s a deliberate reframe by trans activists – now that their traditional “gender is a spectrum” argument has devolved into laughable levels of granularity and fails to elicit anything other than an eyeroll from the majority of people, they are trying to muddy the waters and conflate sex with gender again, using chromosomal anomalies and DSDs as convenient biological props.

  It’s fascinating how society produces these movements which appear as if they are coordinated. People will always believe utter nonsense, but what worries me is the vulnerabilities of the checks and balances which would normally keep unscientific claptrap out of reputable scientific journals and the willingness of educated people to promote what are patently untrue statements. We’re living in challenging times.

Still called “Star” (plural “Stare”) here in Germany.

Feel free to delete previous comment by “glittery42b0f9e032” – don’t know why my name was turned into this rigmarole, but hopefully problem on my end. Katharine ^_^

Getting these life histories of birds from a tag makes birding come to life.

  Yes, it’s too easy to see each individual as interchangeable, which of course they aren’t. Having a life history personalises the whole experience.

NIcely done. It’s great to be able to contribute to these life stories. I managed a few photos of tags during a few trips last month but they were caked in thick runny mud. Will need to take another look.

  Thanks Bob. I’d encourage you to take another look to see what can be discerned from the muddy tags. There’s great pleasure in contributing another data point in citizen science to contribute to the bigger picture.

  Thanks so much Jan – there is so much disinformation around, trying to convince you that men are actually women or that it’s impossible to tell, that it’s an uphill struggle to counter even a small part of it.

That seaweed is lovely compared to the Dead Man’s Fingers fungus. If you scroll down this page, you can see a whole hand reaching up from underground. https://earthlymission.com/dead-mans-fingers-toes-xylaria-polymorphathis-fungus-mushrooms-disturbing-credit/
