Mandating a binary, immutable definition of sex in research is epistemic vandalism. It doesn’t just erase trans people, it wreaks havoc on the tools of knowledge production, leading to less nuanced, less accurate, and less rigorous science.
📣 Today @felicitycallard.bsky.social and I have published the first peer-reviewed response to the 'Sullivan Review' of research and data on sex and gender.

The Review could threaten trans rights and inclusion, erode academic freedom, and undermine research quality.

The words poem and book seem insufficient for Allison C. Rollins's poem "Hymn of Inscape" from her book Black Bell.
Her notes cite inspiration from several enslaved persons, other poems, Langston Hughes essay "The Negro Artist and the Racial Mountain," & Gerard Manley Hopkins's concept of inscape.
