When female athletes have “too much” testosterone:
A new study in Clinical Endocrinology fits with other emerging research on the relationship between natural testosterone and performance, especially in elite athletes, which shows that T levels can’t predict who will run faster, lift more weight or fight harder to win. The study, of a sample of 693 elite athletes, revealed a significant overlap in testosterone levels among men and women: 16.5 percent of the elite male athletes had testosterone in the so-called female range; nearly 14 percent of the women were above the “female” range.

Literature and the only child:
I once had a classmate in college, a person I respected and admired, say to my face that he didn’t think that only children should be allowed. But what he was really saying was: I don’t think people should be alone.

What having your period feels like. (The Toast has an official Con stance on periods, which we think are an evolutionary mistake, and also horrible. This seems smart, tho.)
Edit: Not real, still a great satire:
