I'm proud to be a co-writer of this opinion piece published in Aftenposten today. My colleagues and I raise our concern for the spread of anti-gender politics in Norway and how this creates a discourse of hate towards especially queer and trans people.

Trump-retorikken mot LHBTQI+ vokser raskt i Norge
Vi vil understreke alvoret i situasjonen i Norge ved å se den i sammenheng med internasjonale bevegelser og kampanjer. Det som skjer her, er ikke isolert, skriver innleggsforfatterne.

My new article, which explores the racial logic undergirding the ways gender-critical actors use autism to deny the existence of trans & trans autistic people, is published now through European Journal of Women's Studies. And, it is Open Access. :)

Disabled people have unnecessarily died in their 1000s because of cruel and dehumanising process of welfare assessment and the pittance given if you are deemed disabled 'enough'. The UKs recent decision to cut disability payments will only cause more death and suffering.

For my first post on here I'd like to share this recent podcast episode I did with the author Luca Espseth. We talk about autism and trans, and the ways that these intersecting identities are being weaponized in the anti-trans movements. (p.s, check out Luca's new book!)
