THREAD: As a health information worker who regularly reviews records involving gender-reassignment patients, I can't stress enough the harm to medical accuracy of neo-pronouns.

Please allow me to elaborate:

#GenderCritical #pronouns #healthcare The purpose of the medical record is, first and foremost, to ensure the accurate dissemination of information necessary for the continuation of the patient's care.

Neo-pronouns and "nonbinary" theys aren't just annoying; they're potentially harmful.

THREAD: My #GenderCritical thoughts on how to constitutionally handle gender religion, and its pronouns and whatnot, in schools:

<rant>

(1) Gender ideology IS a religion. It is a faith-based, nonscientific, gnostic-dualist belief system about the soul... (2) ...specifically, about the corruption of the physical body vs the immutable purity of the gendered soul, with ritualistic practices (language & body modification) for attending to the needs of the gendered soul over the flaws of the sexed body.

THREAD: This was my kid to a T(rex), so thought I'd pull her favorite books off our shelf and list them, for any other parents whose kids need engaging books about biology and evolution: 2/ A good way to engross a child is to let them follow the paths of the early explorers--Cuvier's catalogs of animal drawings, Darwin's journey on the Beagle. Even those who got it wrong (Waterhouse) or who are just making up pretend biologies for fun (Olander's monsters)...
