    Happy Trans Day of Visibility everyone. For all my trans siblings, and my non-trans friends and allies, whether you keep your trans status hidden or, like me, kinda bang on about it. I love you all.

    "I don’t recall a plethora of columns offering solidarity from heterosexual “feminists” before so many latched on to lesbians as a way to push their agenda on trans issues." Opinion: I'm sick of being told trans people are ‘erasing’ lesbians like me

    I made a coffee table, with two extendable sleeves to fit those larger #boardgames All reclaimed wood, whether personally or from @OxfordWood Mix of woods, and NO metal in the making. Pretty pleased with myself. Could be better but those are lessons for next time 🙂

    I wrote a blog piece for the RS talking about why we cannot simply ignore our identities, in my case being LGBTI+, and 'just get on with our job'

    It's nice to be recognized alongside amazing trans scientists. I'm always humbled people want to hear from me. And, for those that know me, huge shock but... ...it isn't one of the 2 photos I use for everything! 'Gasp' #TransInSTEM #TransRightsAreHumanRights #TransWomenareWomen

    Today is the trans day of visibility. #tdov To all my trans siblings, a brighter day is coming. To those who are out and loud, you are beacons to so many. Make sure you tell your heroes, I try to! To those who are not out, take your time, this is your journey.

    I hate that our culture is being split by anti-intellectualism masquerading as free speech and, well, intelectual though. It isn't. It is hypocracy. Students removing a picture from a private room is not news, it is their choice and, well, not important in the scheme of things

    Oxford University students removing a picture of the Queen is simply absurd. She is the Head of State and a symbol of what is best about the UK. During her long reign she has worked tirelessly to promote British values of tolerance, inclusivity & respect around the world
