  My mum informed me of this #Marathi movie (with English subtitles) about a #transgender man in rural #India. She heard about it from another mother in a group for parents of #queer children in India (Rainbow Parents). https://youtube.com/watch?v=TfhiCFJO4C4

  If #Pride is a protest, and protests are getting increasingly criminalised in the UK, and the smallest criminal conviction can rule out immigrants from attaining indefinite leave to remain in the UK, why would any immigrants be at Pride? https://youtu.be/S3InGcUC8ys #BristolPride #Bristol #TransgenderUK #TransRights

  Been a while since I left home before 06:30 on a Sunday to go do something fun. If I recall correctly, the last time was years ago when we restarted the #LHC after a long shutdown, on Easter Sunday, and I managed to get the hashtag #ResurrectLHC onto the #CERN website for the event. Today, I am travelling from #Loughborough to #Manchester to watch the Lancashire women’s and men’s #T20 double header as part of the ECB Female Umpire Development Programme. Should be a fun day of #cricket!

  I remember as a science-journalism student in London following the live stream from #CERN when the #LHC had its first collisions in March 2010. I remember the glee during my first visit to the lab in June that year. I remember my first day working at CERN that September and my several visits to the LHC’s cavernous underground spaces to see the #CMSExperiment, many as a tour guide. I remember being surrounded by joy when we announced the discovery of the #HiggsBoson. https://home.cern/cern-bi...

  Current interest: Expanding “vibe” to “vibration” in my head whenever I see it written down.

  RE: https://scholar.social/@RaoOfPhysics/116551199423210255 Yesterday, in mixed #cricket, I got dismissed by a girl for a duck. Obviously, if this has been women’s cricket, I would have activated my “biological advantages” to dispatch her for six sixes in an over instead of her bowling a maiden to me. #TransRights

  The whole “gender not sex” argument being weaponised by transphobes is yet another reason monolingual English-speakers should not be allowed to influence global queer discourse.

  I think one of the worst aspects of banning #transgender women from sports is how insulting it is to cisgender women by portraying them as weak and incapable. Yesterday at #cricket, I opened the batting for our 5th XI (a mixed-gender team) and the young woman opening the bowling for the opposition (also a mixed side) was so frustratingly talented that it was incredibly hard to score off her. Fast, accurate and with gorgeous outswing. It was a treat to play against her bowling.

  I know the fuckers at the Guardian won’t care to cover it, because it doesn't involve a US state, but #India has tossed #TransRights in the bin. Something that will affect some 150 million people will continue to be ignored by western media. https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/transgender-amendment-bill-gets-president-murmus-assent/article70804606.ece
