Transgender people exist. Intersex people exist. Embryology shows everyone began as a female. Some girls, though born girls, are chromosomally boys (Swyer syndrome). See also Klinefelter and Turner syndromes. Sex has been defined differently by time and place; see👇 for more.

@KamalMashharawi I saw you🗣️ w/ @AliVelshi on @MSNBC, but your audio quality was terrible, weakening your message. Try to use 🎧 w/ a built-in microphone that you can plug into your 💻 rather than *ever* relying on the 💻’s mike. A good pair will run $10-20. ☮️ For example:

Your scientific ignorance is appalling, Mr. Carlson, & it’s going to get someone killed. Please take <15 mins of your life to watch this, produced well before the huge, hateful, & extremely harmful backlash against a group finally getting some dignity.🏳️‍⚧️ youtu.be/kT0HJkr1jj4

Also, please try watching this brief, very helpful, scientifically accurate video of how biologists are really starting to understand sex and the complicated interplay of genetic, hormonal, and other factors in determining it. youtu.be/kT0HJkr1jj4

Replying to @Republicans @GOP
If he saw his party today, Lincoln could only conclude a mere handful of elected Republicans had read it. Your party, teeming with insurrectionists, secessionists, states’ rightists, fraudsters, et al., should read all of AL’s 1st State of the Union. He opposes you emphatically.
This meme includes a blurred picture of Abraham Lincoln along with this quote from his State of the Union Address on July 4, 1961: “Our popular government has often been called an experiment. Two points in it our people have already settled—the successful establishing and the successful administering of it. One still remains—its successful maintenance against a formidable internal attempt to overthrow it. It is now for them to demonstrate to the world that those who can fairly carry an election can also suppress a rebellion; that ballots are the rightful and peaceful successors of bullets; and that when ballots have fairly and constitutionally decided, there can be no successful appeal back to bullets; that there can be no successful appeal, except to ballots themselves, at succeeding elections. Such will be a great lesson of peace: teaching men that what they cannot take by an election, neither can they take it by a war; teaching all the folly of being the beginners of a war.”

What was the definition before, and how do you object to it now? Because I just took this screenshot and don’t see anything here that would go against your definition…

.@tcm This description came up on @YouTubeTV for today's broadcast of *Reflections in a Golden Eye*. I think it's insulting, don't you? I know you will be showing this film again. Could you please ensure the description is changed by then? Thank you!

Your reporter made a serious mistake. Anyone even mildly keeping track should know the fact that the U.S. passed the 750K *total* death mark was news *very* recently. Yes, the Delta variant struck hard, but only non-vaccinated people. This is from the CDC just minutes ago.

Laurie, this is wrong. Think of the reporting you've been reading. Just recently the U.S. passed the 750K cumulative death mark. The reporter really misinterpreted this. Please delete your tweet. I pulled this from the CDC just minutes ago.

@alaynatreene On @DeadlineWH today, your appearance was marred by your computer's horrible feedback. For now, sit at a 45° angle from the wall behind you. For the long term, use earbuds like these, w/ a 🎤 on one of the wires. Your voice will be clear + you'll have no feedback.

@sniffleparty How does it feel to have created, with "All the Snow Is Gone", one of the few (relatively speaking) #PerfectSongs? youtu.be/RBduoFNYUJg
