The Art of Conversation
By Adam Widdison, author of The Expert Clinician A consultation is, at its heart, a conversation—but not an ordinary one. It is a purposeful exchange in which the patient and the healthcare professional (HCP) are both trying to understand something, and each holds information the other needs. Treating patients as people with a problem from the first moment is essential if we are to deliver compassionate care. The opening of the consultation establishes the aims and initial focus. Once […]https://theexpertclinician.com/2026/08/11/the-art-of-conversation/

The Global Shift Reshaping Women’s Sports: Inside Sophie Cunningham’s Fight for Fairness
Sophie Cunningham’s stance on protecting women’s sports has sparked intense debate, but her concerns now align with global shifts in governance. With the IOC, UKSC, and SCOTUS affirming biological standards, her voice sits at the center of a worldwide reckoning.Thousands attend London Trans+ Pride march

Demography Beyond Age: Understanding Sex, Gender Identity, and Ethnicity
My work explores how we can sharpen our thinking and performance in the demanding realities of modern clinical practice. Demographic information often provides our first glimpse into the circumstances, experiences, pressures and risks that shape a patient’s life. Used thoughtfully, it offers valuable context, helping us understand not only what may be happening medically but also how best to communicate, support decision-making and tailor care to the individual sitting in front of us.

#ScottishLabour leader #AnasSarwar says he'd ban #transgender prisoners from women’s jails “within days” if he becomes first minister in May.
Sarwar would ensure that prisons are “single-sex, based on #biologicalSex”. https://archive.is/sMgsV
This would endanger #transwomen, and terrify #cis women who'd be sharing space with #transmen.
But the latest YouGov poll predicts wipeout for #SLAB. With zero chance of power, #Sarwar can promise without consequence. 🤮
Pastor Nick Park, executive director of the #EvangelicalAlliance Ireland, said #EnochBurke’s disrespectful treatment of “everyone” led to his incarceration.
The Evangelical Alliance are #fundamentalist headbangers and #transphobes. They share Burke's obsession with "#BiologicalSex", which is a hilarious stance for a religion based on #immaculateConception. 🤣
But the #BurkeFamily antics are too much for even the #EA.

& require the sex designation on #US #passports to align with the holder’s #BiologicalSex. Last week, the court temporarily blocked Trump from deploying the National Guard in Chicago.
In all, #SCOTUS has sided with #Trump this year in more than 80% of the emergency appeals filed by the #DOJ.
The court, on its regular docket, handed Trump an important win in June by limiting the power of federal #courts to temporarily block his policies.

UK Supreme Court judgement sex farce
Judgement to clarify biological sex ducked the issue. Anyone with a knowledge of biology beyond primary school level will know that biological sex is not simple. XY women? XX men?
#BiologicalSex #GenderEquality #GenderRecognition #news
https://daily-twerk.com/science/uk-supreme-court-judgement-sex-farce/
Come to think of it, I did have sex with a biologist once... #BiologicalSex
Given that the Supreme Court judgement makes such a big deal of "biological sex", it's kind of wild they they do not define it in any of the 88 pages of their judgement.
My best guess is they mean "the sex that was written on your birth certificate at the time your birth was first registered".
Try telling a biologist that that's "biological" and see how far you get.
A good analysis of the Supreme Court ruling today by Jess O'Thomson.

Je publie ça pour le retrouver plus facilement. Tiré de "The New Science of Sex and Gender" https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-new-science-of-sex-and-gender/ (paywalled)
Does someone have good resources on debunking the essentialist notion of "biological sex" (especially in the context of sport) and on why gender division in sport is bullshit ?

Saw thread on FB, had to search, TLDR for now:
> Turns out there is only ONE GENE on the Y chromosome that really matters to sex. It’s called the SRY gene. During human embryonic development the SRY protein turns on male-associated genes. Having an SRY gene makes you “genetically male”. But is this “biological sex”?
