last check in before holiday. been holding at 96ish kg since competition (97 here) and happy with what the rough starting point for bulk will be.

i am actually, unsurprisingly, vastly more offended by the conflation of the IDF with “the jewish community”. i am not a footsoldier of genocide and will still be jewish long after the murderous IDF is successfully and entirely dismantled.

bravi to the authors of the 2025 BASHH/BHIVA UK PrEP guidelines for recognising that excessive reliance on RCT data necessarily reproduces inequalities for groups already marginalised or minoritised within healthcare. (see: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....) /1

this would be a practice whose ethics centred on gayle rubin’s approximation of a “true ethics of sex” and, of course, foucault’s (orientalist) description of an ars erotica (the practice of exploiting and facilitating pleasure outside of the axis of power/knowledge)

benjamin weil @benvyle.bsky.social · 04/05/2025

i spend a great deal of my time talking to people (students and other researchers) about how limited surveys are as a tool for understanding complex phenomena like ‘sex’; media pundits and publics should be made aware of this too.

feels like the hatred and moral panic about trans people has made this kind of statement completely impossible now - biological essentialism just redoubled everywhere

(i know snooker isn't pool but) just it is astonishing and depressing to see the shifts in discourse about this since this article about gender in the sport was published in 2015 www.bbc.co.uk/sport/snooke...

actually, the response by a leading women's player - reanne evans - to steve davis is an important one:

benjamin weil @benvyle.bsky.social · 25/04/2025

great to see cis women pool players celebrating the exclusion of trans women as a matter of 'fairness'.... this should really stick it to the male players who see them as inherently worse at the game because of their little brains

steven, you don’t know me at all (clearly) but from my brief interactions with you i think you might need to talk to someone about your insecurity. you might stop projecting so wildly when you do.
