Here's the trailer for #ApocalypseCow, tomorrow evening, on Channel 4:
Because films don’t have footnotes, I will live-tweet the references for the statements of fact in #ApocalypseCow, as it is transmitted. If there is anything you feel I have not sourced, you are welcome to ask me the following day.
I will also be at the #ORFC20 (Oxford Real Farming Conference) on Thursday, in a pitchfork-proof vest. We're now hosting a special Q+A there about the film, at lunchtime.

Here's the state of play:
@newscientist, reviewing #ApocalypseCow, got its figures wrong.
@carolvorders, perhaps the most famous mathematician in the UK, compounded its mistake, with a colossal maths error.
NS has now retracted its error.
CV, despite several requests, has not.
@newscientist @carolvorders Because of their mistakes, several people on social media have accused me of lying. I politely, but firmly, request that they delete these accusations.
@newscientist @carolvorders What makes this esp galling is that I was scrupulous in sourcing my figures and explaining my sums, live-tweeting the references as the film went out. I don't know whether anyone has done that before. I wish the NS and Carol had checked before making their erroneous claims.

The government is considering cutting the tax on flying to save an airline.
It should be increasing it to save the living planet.
#FrequentFlyerTax
theguardian.com/business/2020/…
Governments everywhere continue to behave as if nothing needs to change, in the midst of the greatest crisis humanity has ever faced: the gathering collapse of our life support systems.
We need an urgent programme for grounding the great majority of flights.
People are asking "what about the jobs if #Flybe goes under?".
But what about the jobs if the planet goes under?
And the lives?
There is no monstrosity that cannot be justified by the creation or continuation of employment. Including the destruction of human life.

It's official: those of us who care about the living planet and the future of humanity are extremists, and should be reported to Prevent.
Those who couldn't give a shit about other people and the rest of life on Earth are, of course, moderates.
theguardian.com/uk-news/2020/j…
Throughout my life, the police have been trying to classify non-violent protesters striving for a better world as extremists or terrorists.
But if it were not for non-violent protest, there would be no votes, no rights, no justice, no democracy.
So who are the extremists?
I urge all those who care about the future of life on Earth to report themselves to Prevent, and request that they be brainwashed into the consumer stupor that defines a good citizen.

brand new piece! it's more of a massive timeline than an essay: Origins of "Social Contagion" and "Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria"... juliaserano.blogspot.com/2019/02/origin… #trans #transgender #LGBTQ #health #healthcare #children #psychology
...for those who'd prefer a TL;DR (it is very long), here is the summary of the piece... #trans #transgender #LGBTQ #health #healthcare #children #psychology
...I will share more excerpts from the piece tomorrow. But in the meantime, feel free to share it with others. And if you appreciate this work, and the fact that I make pieces like this for FREE, please consider supporting me on Patreon! patreon.com/juliaserano/ov…

Probably the most infuriating aspect of debating anything relating #trans issues is not actually the virulent, anti-trans people -- it's the people who are under the delusion that 'both sides' are somehow right and aren't listening to each other.
Like legitimately, I would much rather face someone telling me I'm a secret rapist than someone telling me that my biggest problem in life is that I'm not genuinely listening to the arguments of the person saying I'm a secret rapist.
And I saw *exactly* the same types of arguments when I was campaigning for marriage equality in the States. Nice, smiley 'liberal' people in the middle who thought I just wasn't listening well enough to the people screaming, "GET YOUR HANDS OFF MARRIAGE" in my face.

THREAD: earlier I tweeted about Jesse Singal's long history of writing fearmongering anti-#trans/GNC #children articles (+ also treating me & other trans women shittily): #transgender #LGBTQ #health #psychology
...Here I will "live tweet" Singal's latest Atlantic article, which is in the same vein as the others. If I was teaching a journalism class, I'd use this latest article as an example of how to write a highly biased piece that comes across as "fair & balanced" as possible...
...and since people unfamiliar with this subject will no doubt be unaware of all the misinformation & biases at work here, I'm gonna do math to it! I'm dividing it into 14 sections, each of which begins with its own header (aka, giant capital letter)...
