Gender studies is vital to understanding the world,esp considering the misogynistic (and its attendant handmaidens, racism, LGBTIQ phobia etc) backlash we are undergoing

Somebody sent me this scene shot of an academic in SETU disparaging the academic programmes of another university โฆ not a good look!
But also Gli**er- how can one person be so consistently wrong on everything - we, feminists, are the descendants of the witches, not the witch hunters #speirgorm

The GRA was passed in 2015 with very little fanfare following years of courageous campaigning by trans people. We have yet to see any negative ramifications in society - and we won't.
We simply *cannot* have a President of Ireland who speaks about trans women or their human rights in this way.

In more personal news - I am delighted that this book in which I have a chapter on the treatment of militant anti- treaty women in the Irish civil war is out-it is horrendously expensive as academics book go, so drop a DM if you want a peek at my chapter link.springer.com/book/10.1007... #history
