What am I working toward if I'm unemployable? Or can't get federal $$ because I'm on some watchlist? FFS.

Are "violent extremists" eligible for professorships? Asking for myself and all of my trans/gender non-conforming colleagues.

No one prepares you for how to get a PhD or a faculty job in the throes of fascism, or for how to get a grant when agency priorities are steeped in eugenics and pseudoscience.

"bUt It'S iLlEgAl" so is, like, the entire fascist machine at this point. Laws don't matter.

Listen to trans people when we say our lives are at stake. We've been dragging ourselves through critical training stages and research day to day so we don't fall too far behind.

Trans people aren't safe here. PLEASE stand up--personally and professionally (lookin' at you, academics)--for the trans people in your life.
