PhD student researching trans life in Edwardian London. Also does folk music on moothie and Northumbrian smallpipes.
Tomorrow, I will be speaking about trans history and the Edwardian folk song revival at Cecil Sharp House as part of the Queer Folk Festival. Apparently there are still some tickets available for anyone who wants to hear more!

today the House passed a Trans Sports ban, and they will likely forward a federal Trans Bathroom Ban soon. my latest essay is a deep-dive into research studies that debunk such such legislation & chronicle the long history of smearing marginalized groups as "sexual predators":
