It was always obvious that the right-wing moral panic around universities had nothing to do with "free speech". It was about delegitimising critical & dissenting intellectual activity, with a view to suppressing it altogether. Far too many liberals were taken in by this transparent, reactionary scam
🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

We have been censored in the US for our research on LGBTQ+ sexual violence.

My co-authors and I are extremely concerned about research and activism being censored and the speed with which organisations have acquiesced to transphobic, homophobic and misogynist demands.

Extremely distressing seeing all US federal agencies being ordered to remove all their LGBTIQ+ content from their web pages. This includes gendered-violence agencies too.

Standing in solidarity with all US-based LGBTIQ+ people, and those working in this space.

Government agencies scrub LGBTQ web pages and remove info about trans, intersex people
The State Department’s web page providing adoption information to LGBTQI+ prospective parents now addresses only “LGB” people.

So delighted to launch the Queer Joy! project’s website! See collage, zines, & short films created by 2SLGBTQ+ youth in resistance to rising hate in Alberta, Canada, which has the most repressive anti-queer and trans laws in the country: www.queerjoy.ca
