15.05.2025 17:39 β π 14 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0The UK has dropped to its lowest position ever (22nd) on the
@ilgaeurope.bsky.social ranking of the best and worst places to be LGBTQ+ in Europe.
Ten years ago, it ranked in first place.
Our government must reverse, not further, this shocking decline in LGBTQ+ rights.
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 (?) π€·ββοΈ

Categories used by the state to sort people into boxes are never neutral.
Some thoughts on the UK Supreme Court case ruling and the wider anti-trans campaign to narrow sex and gender categories in policy, data and law.

Itβs good to see editors of academic journals refuse to comply with increasing state censorship of sexuality and gender scholarship.
