I never thought very much about protists/amoebas, and reading this volume was a fascinating introduction to what seems to be an understudied field.

Whether you want to be a better ally, think you might be trans, or just donโt understand what this whole transgender thing is about, I highly recommend reading genderdysphoria.fyi/
It talks about what gender itself is, what gender incongruence feels like, the science behind how sex determination and sexual dimorphism works in humans, the diagnostic process for trans folks, and what HRT actually does and what is involved in transitioning. Itโs a good read
That's Gender Dysphoria, FYI
A resource for those questioning their gender, already on a gender journey, or simply wanting to learn more about what it is to be transgender.That's Gender Dysphoria, FYI
