This survey on non-binary adults' experiences of family in the UK closes tomorrow. We could do with another 10 responses - if are a non-binary adult living in the UK you've not yet completed it please do.

Since the concept is being misunderstood and misused, let's talk about what "third-sexing" means as a mechanism of transphobia. I built on an idea first discussed in @juliaserano.bsky.social's "Whipping Girl" that discussed how, interpersonally, cis people refuse to acknowledge our genders.

Politics academics, I'm looking at you. That means you too, gender and politics researchers!

Bluntly, the current patriarchal order has made it explicit that it would welcome the annihilation of humanity before the annihilation of the order.

Fulden Ibrahimhakkioglu and I are editing a special issue of Feminist Philosophy Quarterly on Feminist Accountability and Transformative Justice! Completed essays are due January 4th. Details are here: philevents.org/event/show/1...

They spent a decade complaining about safe spaces and then made a robot to give you compliments and tell you your mp3 of farting noises is Brian Eno

This is catastrophic.

I am a co-author on this policy study for @feps-europe.eu with colleagues from @reacpolrn.bsky.social. Please give it a read if you want to help resist the far right!

In a competitive field where it is hard to stand out, to truly shine for national transphobia, the UK and NHS are absolutely knocking it out of the park. They looked and looked and only found 1 study on puberty blockers + oestrogen Others try and transphobe but we are world class transphobes

I've been studying the history of US, and indeed, global policing my whole career and I can't make it more clear to law makers that this isn't a bastardization of policing, it is its purest form and logical conclusion. The impunity, militarization, deference, legitimacy, racial targeting, etc.

I feel like the Nobel peace prize people could have avoided this if they gave their medal to someone who dedicated their life to peace, rather than just "this person is an opposition leader."

The extremism of organised transphobia and their unwavering belief in the necessity to exclude, dehumanise and make diappear a marginalised community should ring alarm bells to anyone who knows even a little about 19th and 20th century history...

📣New interview📣 'Terms like “detransitioner,” like “transitioner,” reduce people to the act of transitioning and frame transitioning as an extremist act or impulsive decision' @katfuller.bsky.social discusses transphobic moral panics on the far right. reacpol.net/moral-panic-...

Focusing on extreme events such as the reports of Farage’s teenage past can exceptionalise the nature of far-right politics and make it harder to call out Some thoughts @theconversation.com on the mainstreaming of far-right politics theconversation.com/nigel-farage...

“The issue is men. So maybe we need a man only carriage where we put them all in the back of the train and they can just stay there and harass each other": @patsystevenson.bsky.social on the money, as always.

a world without trans people has never existed and never will

When I'm asked what kind of friend groups I have:

The Times Higher Education giving a platform to reactionary voices to complain about there being too much "terminology relating to EDI" or "progressive discourse" in research projects at a time when fascism is at the door... What is there left to say? www.timeshighereducation.com/news/rise-ed...

No words.

If you support trans people but not Palestinians, you’ve misunderstood the fight. Queer & Palestinian liberation are both about tearing down the same colonial systems that criminalize existence, surveil bodies, and justify genocide of both in the name of order. These are not separate struggles.

Lancaster University can't slash its workforce and still provide the same level of provision to students Our members at will fight these cuts www.ucu.org.uk/article/1406...
