A galactic group project! This image of galaxy NGC 3627 features data from three space-based telescopes! Hubble's visible-light data is seen in red, green, and blue. @ChandraXRay contributed X-ray data (purple) and @NASAWebb brought the infrared (also in red, green, and blue).

Does anyone have info about the context of this slide? I see it credited to an IBM presentation from 1979---but a presentation by whom, to whom about what?

In the 1980s it was “there’s no such thing as a gay child.” In the 2020s it’s “there’s no such thing as a trans child.” It’s the same bigotry recycled.

I don't. And (along with many others, who've replied or retweeted) I'm not impressed to be spoken on behalf of like this.
Lesbians, gay men and bisexuals support Wes Streeting’s intention to ban puberty blockers because we know that, if we were kids now, we would have been targeted by adults keen to medicalise us.

In the wake of news like this, it is worth all the extra effort to double and triple check your sources. There is going to be a lot of insane conspiracy theories and speculation flying around. Pause, think, and exercise healthy skepticism. The facts will come out eventually

Spreading conspiracy theories right now is wildly irresponsible. I don’t care from which side or who it helps/hurts politically. Stop it.
