The landscape for LGBTQ+ research is so bleak. Still fuming that UKRI decided this review was acceptable and didn't undermine EDI policy. Highlights: no relevence to LGB cuz trans inclusive, no hostile climate cuz Pride and gay marriage, no need for declonisation cuz Tate did it 24 years ago (?) 🤷♀️

Today’s news is so bleak. What a horribly hostile place the U.K. continues to be. Check on your trans siblings. Lives are on the line here. 🩷🤍💙
