THIS IS HUGE! Researchers at Stanford University have developed a dual-antibody treatment that remains effective against ALL SARS-CoV-2 variants by targeting a less-mutable part of the virus. This breakthrough could lead to longer-lasting therapies that OUTPACE viral evolution. 🧪🧵⬇️

Honestly, the cloying desperation to find a perfect definition that will exclude trans women from legible, legitimate womanhood has in and of itself demonstrated (almost as well as any materialist feminist can) that sex is social, mutable, and a regime of violent policing.
since apparently JKR is spouting nonsense about "gametes" again, here is my in depth primer on why anti-trans groups have become so obsessed with gametes & why the actual science does not support their claims (no paywall): juliaserano.medium.com/why-are-gend...
