Very interesting, wonderful calm delivery. Informative. Well reasoned with out a lot of science or medical jargon, just cutting through the bullshit. Towards the end she even addresses those that still claim gametes are the real determining factor of a persons sex. I enjoyed this. Hugs

‘Push Them In The River’ Texas’ Crimes Against Humanity?
Homocons And Armed Nazis Menace WI Pride Event
Compare the actions of the pride attendees and the Nazi thugs. The pride people were having fun, smiling, laughing, dancing, singing. The Nazis were screaming threats while brandishing weapons, scaring the kids and others attending the event. Which one was presenting what was good for children to see, angry face covered armed shouting men or dancing happy singing pride people? Also these thugs claimed that masks kept them from breathing when it was necessary due to a public health threat now wear them to hide their identity so they don’t get fired for what they are doing. Notice in one of the tweets, one of the men loaded a round in the chamber to threaten reporters on a public street. These are the thugs that DeathSantis hires as staff and refuses to denounce. These are the people that trump claimed were very good people on both sides. Hugs.
Newsweek reports:
An armed Neo-Nazi group protested a Pride in the Park event in Watertown, Wisconsin, on Saturday afternoon that featured a drag story time and drag shows.
Video journalist Oliya Scootercaster took to Twitter on Saturday to document the protest and wrote, “BLOOD TRIBE group marching in Watertown Wisconsin protesting Pride in the park.” In her videos, one Neo-Nazi group member can be seen carrying a weapon.
According to the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), Blood Tribe is described as “a neo-Nazi group with semi-autonomous chapters in the United States and Canada. Blood Tribe promotes hardline white supremacist views and openly directs its vitriol at Jews, ‘non-whites’ and the LGBTQ+ community.”

CDC Issues Warning On Rise In Florida Leprosy Cases
Yet the governor is focused on wiping out woke, and making the LGBTQ+ disappear from society. I guess pushing his religious conservative ideology on all students is more important that solving the problems in the state, or helping the people. Hugs
CDC Issues Warning On Rise In Florida Leprosy Cases
The Hill reports:
Health officials say that cases of leprosy, also known as Hansen’s disease, are surging in Central Florida. In a news release Monday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said that Central Florida has accounted for 81 percent of reported cases in the state and almost one-fifth of reported cases nationwide.
Authorities said that several cases in Central Florida have demonstrated no clear evidence of zoonotic exposure or traditionally known risk factors. They also noted that they have reported a case of lepromatous leprosy in the area in a male resident without risk factors for known transmission routes.
More from the CDC alert:
Florida, USA, has witnessed an increased incidence of leprosy cases lacking traditional risk factors. Those trends, in addition to decreasing diagnoses in foreign-born persons, contribute to rising evidence that leprosy has become endemic in the southeastern United States.
Travel to Florida should be considered when conducting leprosy contact tracing in any state. Prolonged person-to-person contact through respiratory droplets is the most widely recognized route of transmission.
A high percentage of unrelated leprosy cases in the southern United States were found to carry the same unique strain of M. leprae as nine-banded armadillos in the region, suggesting a strong likelihood of zoonotic transmission.
A recent systematic review analyzing studies conducted during 1945–2019 supports an increasing role of anthroponotic and zoonotic transmission of leprosy.
However, Rendini et al. demonstrated that many cases reported in eastern United States, including Georgia and central Florida, lacked zoonotic exposure or recent residence outside of the United States.
Given those reports, there is some support for the theory that international migration of persons with leprosy is a potential source of autochthonous transmission.

Neuro-biology of trans-sexuality : Prof. Robert Sapolsky
This video is somewhat technical medically, but understandable by nonmedical people. The Professor speaks rather fast. He is going over briefly medical studies that show the brains of trans sexual people appear to have the structure of the identified as sex instead of the one assigned at birth. He talks about how the studies were repeatable, and they were backed up by controls to rule out different causes. It is becoming more clear just as it did with same sex attraction being inborn and not an illness to be cured, the same is true of transgenderism. No wonder the teaching of these medical advancements and knew understandings terrify the fundamentalist religious right and why they are removing all advanced placement classes that talk about gender and sexual orientation. The ones demanding we retain only the ideas of the past, that we accept only what was understood even a century ago are unable to tolerate growth in what we understand. At one time mental illness was thought of as demon possession. I have little doubt that those who still push conversion therapy and others who think you can pray away sickness will change their minds even when science proves them wrong. Some people still fight against evolution and think creationism is legitimate. Hugs
RFK Super PAC Largely Funded By GOP Megadonor
Well we knew that. The republicans recruited him to run as a chaos agent to suck votes from Biden. Republicans know their candidates and the ideas they push are unpopular with the people. So they only way they can stay in power is to cheat, suppress votes of the democrats, and gerrymander to create districts that only republicans can win. Rather than change the party to appeal to more people they simply demand no one gets to vote unless they vote for them, so they can rule as a minority over the majority. The problem for the right is RFK is talking more like a republican than a democrat. What republicans are doing should be illegal. Hugs
Politico reports:
A super PAC supporting the presidential ambitions of longshot Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. reported receiving more than half its nearly $10 million in funds from a single GOP donor.
Of the $9.8 million reported, $5 million came from Timothy Mellon, a longtime GOP donor who gave $1.5 million to a Trump-aligned group last fall, according to campaign finance records. In a press release earlier Monday, Mellon touted Kennedy’s bipartisan credentials, calling him “the one Democrat who can win in the general election.”
Most of the rest of the super PAC’s fundraising through the end of June came from Gavin De Becker, an author and consultant who reported giving the group $4.5 million.
The Insider reports:
Mellon also contributed $53 million to an effort led by Republican Gov. Greg Abbott of Texas to build a wall on the US-Mexico border, effectively funding the entire venture himself.
The grandson of famous banking magnate Andrew Mellon and an heir to the family fortune, Mellon once wrote in a self-published autobiography that welfare programs are “slavery redux” and described Black people as becoming “even more belligerent and unwilling to pitch in to improve their own situations” in the 1980s.
Yep. He’s the new Tulsi Gabbard. In 18 months he’ll have his own show on Newsmax
Killing more Republican viewers with his anti-vax message. That’s one way to insure the quick extinction of the doomed evolutionary offshoot: MAGAman
