Hey Science feed! 🧪 I'm doing a #linguistics study that requires a *lot* of people, especially from places I don't normally have access to. It's volunteer (unpaid) only at this stage, but if you've got 10-30(ish) minutes, I'd really appreciate if you took the survey and told me about people's names!

Here is the thing people dont understand. Women are an opressed class in that they are enslaved in order to provide reproductive labour for men. Being queer at all complicates your place in that dynamic, firstly. In a way, all homophobia stems from the problem of not fitting into this model.

oh wow theyre going to "ALLOW" children use the words +clothes they want to "subject to conditions"
this article says they can't forcibly prevent social transition (bc its illegal due to eq laws) so they're just goin to isssue guidance taking "a presumption against" it.

being a trans guy is like:
I am the most boring dude on earth. I'm a snowflake. I'm so small. I'm too big. I need to do better; my job is to protect women. I have a female body so I'm in constant pain and danger. I dont know why everyone hates me. It doesnt matter; others have it worse. I love wome-

Does everyone else have the same experience of, like, nurses make small talk and doctors don't?
If so, is this a gender thing or a culture thing?
Like:
women doctors are sometimes more friendly;
every male nurse I've had has been lovely;
migrant doctors have often been friendlier to me as well

Trying to catch up on the discourse though vagueposts
The impression I'm getting is that it's actually fine when people use transphobic slurs against groups they aren't part of because of how various other groups are actually more discriminated against. Oh and also none of this matters anyway.

So pleased to be a part of this excellent book via a chapter on narratives produced at a gender identity clinic, written with Angela Zottola, Louise Mullany & Alison Pilnick. We argue that our data reveal
the regulatory power of social institutions in reinforcing narrow conceptualisations of gender.

"Of those medics reporting women to the police, [...] "Most of the time, it is down to that ‘upright citizen’ attitude – ‘I’ve been told about a crime, it’s my duty to call the police.’
“they genuinely hadn’t thought about confidentiality. [...]”"
Horrifying!
