I wrote something quite personal about what use trans history In These Times:
The summer has seen anti-trans campaigns across the UK and US, alongside a crisis in healthcare. But what use could trans history have in these time, beyond proving 'we have always been here'?

Northern Ireland man from Lisburn kidnapped by Trump’s Ice raids because he “looked like a Mexican”. He had the correct visa, all his documents. He’s never been in trouble with police.

They have gone beyond banning trans healthcare to almost criminalising it. Children, who this development targets, do not have the same access to DIY networks to get around this law as adults, making this extremely dangerous. We need a crossboarder trans defense movement now!

Going from reading the Kinsey Report reject that gender identity and sexual identity are exclusive towards each other to reading the judgement from the UK today that on the first page makes a distinction between 'women' and 'the trans community' (as if they are necessarily separate) is fucking wild.

amazing how the cyber attack on the British Library still means that all recently published work (and that's a definition that stretches back several years) is completely unavailable to researchers, since they only acquired ebooks and that system is still down

If one more academic website introduces a shitty AI tool to poorly sum up someone's book or anything similar I'll chuck my laptop out my office window. My job is to carefully read people's work so I can qualify their analysis with my insights about the sources, not to be force-fed a bot's bad essay.

I'm kind of tired of events that are designed to be Queer inclusive where there's only a small handful of trans women present, if we're there at all. If you are running the space and less than 5% of attendees are trans women or similar, there's a serious problem. We're not hard to find, so find us.

One of the earliest International Gay Association campaigns was about US immigration officials refusing any out gay people from entering the country. That was back in the late 1970s. We fought it together then, we'll fight it together now.

I completely agree with Dr. Dhomhnaill that therapy notes should not be used in court. I do want to add that psychological services around GBV can be harmful for other reasons as well. Psychiatry is heteronormative and Queer Mad people's concerns are often dangerously ignored or belittled by psychs.

It's easy to think all the major groups and actions in the past have happened in New York, London, or Toronto, but wherever people have faced oppression there has been resistance. The best way to develop your struggle is to learn from home and abroad.

Justice for research staff and students! Research is work and deserves the same rights to unionization and collective bargaining as every other job.
This bill still has to go through the House and get the governor’s signature, all of which is very likely. It is deeply unpopular across the state. Please help us raise hell about it.
leaving this here:
"The bill, known as SB 1, would also establish post-tenure reviews, ban strikes by full-time faculty, and require colleges to publish a syllabus with the instructor’s professional qualifications and contact information for every class."

There are some people trying this in Ireland. Problems include: Ireland doesn't have asylum, it has EU international protection status that's a bit different, and US citizens have enormous passport privilege compared to other applicants, so they have other ways to get residency most refugees don't.
Sign a petition to allow US Trans people to seek asylum in Canada! (currently we cannot due to a treaty)
Momentum Canada has a petition calling on the GoC to recognize that the US is no longer a "safe third country", to update travel guidance to the US and create a clear and accessible pathway for trans refugees. Please join me in signing.
