Our pronouns are marked as "editorial they/them" because, while SP Press is usually just one person (Isabelle), sometimes it's not (for instance, we had a guest article from Andrea Fogel a while back), so we're keeping the personae separate in case it becomes more relevant in future.

We published a new article today, slightly out of our usual scope: we're covering the Shogakukan affair, a massive media blow-up around a major Japanese publishing concern's continued employment of two men convicted of child sexual abuse. severalproblems.press/2026/03/06/t...

> the survivor for coming forward publicly, especially given how extensively and relentlessly nav has already punished the survivor and everyone around her for daring to even name the abuse *in private.* but it's become clear that keeping quiet only gives nav license to keep punishing her and me.

the survivor is being extremely brave. she knows that nav is in possession of all her PII, and especially her intimate images, and that nav has already shown a willingness to use them to hurt her. up until now we have kept quiet out of concern about how nav will escalate and retaliate against >

please read the thread and attached document. it’s short and mostly images. some of you already know this because navreen tagged you in their harassment and stalking efforts, but nav is the reason i deactivated my account and have been gone the last several weeks. drive.proton.me/urls/PA2ZND5...

To preference cis people at the expense of trans people in this way is cissexism. It demonstrates just how entrenched this bigotry is within academia and medical professional spheres even within trans people in those fields and I think they should be ashamed of themselves for pushing this on us.

While the ABS guidance suggests caution when inferring sex from sex-at-birth because it can change over one's lifetime, I have never seen a single academic or clinician apply this caution in practice (because the categories are usually interchangeable for them, their subjects, and their patients).

The reason for doing so per the Australian Bureau of Statistics guidance is that split sex/gender categories confuse cis people and they treat the categories as interchangeable (because the categories usually are interchangeable for them).

The new questions for the Australian census next year really aren't any better than the last mess regarding trans people. In fact, they will more effectively erase the lives of trans people. The sex question has been replaced with "sex at birth". I'll explain why this is an issue. 🧵
