Dogs Are Cool

I should write a book called “DNA isn’t as cool as you think it is and other lies about science perpetuated by the media”

chapters would include: 

DNA doesn’t deserve all the credit

that’s not how development works

that’s not how a properly blinded clinical trial works

no one gets multiple PhDs please stop with this

everything takes forever and nothing works

physicist can’t do biology (or chemistry for that matter), a primer on specialization

the myth of singular white male genius in science

please do even the barest amount of googling before you hang your plot on something you clearly know nothing about, I am literally begging you

yikes™ or: the worst offenders I have come across yet

ive been reading a book that basically explains how so-called “brain differences” between the genders is the result of gendered socialization and not the cause of it. i honestly expected the book to be very cis-centric but its actually the opposite, the author stresses that testimony from trans ppl is actually indispensable because we’ve, in a sense, “lived both experiences”

more cis feminists should have this mindset

[gaydva-deactivated20180104]

one of the first examples that she uses to introduce her point about how perception by others can shape a person’s performance actually uses a trans woman. it explains that as a certain trans woman became to be seen as a woman more and more frequently, the ppl arond her eventually started viewing her as being ill equipped for tasks that they did not bother her about pre-transition. eventually she even found herself underperforming in these tasks herself.

Delusions of Gender by Cordelia Fine

Here’s a pdf, babes <3

I knew it was this book before I’d finished reading the first two lines. Honestly this book is indispensible if you want to debunk any gender determinism people claim is science. I can’t recommend it enough.

She’s written a new one! It won the Royal Society prize for science book of the year, and it’s called Testosterone Rex, and it is excellent.

(Bonus: it’s making old white men really really mad.)

(Bonus bonus: I am myself a neuroscientist, and the old white men mentioned above – who are not – could not have missed the point harder if they’d actively tried. Which. Maybe?)

To all the guys who think I'm into you: that's a pretty high horse you're riding, I hope you fall off it.

There’s nothing wrong with being single, people all my life have made it seem like it’s a problem when it’s really not. If you don’t want to date anyone you don’t have to ok.
