We are now living in a world where researchers are no longer able to share views that are “anti governmental.” Academic freedom is now officially non-existent with universities having done nothing to defend it.

My presentation on using trans understanding and being, doing and knowing in gay-based digital dating apps (@grindr) at AAAL had more people than I ever expected to show up. I’m overwhelmed by the positive feedback and questions to help me move forward with other work.

If you are a white liberal who wants to share opinions about identity politics I suggest you begin with the white identity politics expressed by your racist uncle at Thanksgiving dinner. If you have nothing to say to him then please stop complaining about identity politics in communities of color.
