The UK's Anti-Trans Ruling Is a Defeat for All Women
Even the self-described feminists celebrating the Supreme Court's attempt to banish trans people from womanhood will pay a heavy price.
The UK Supreme Courtβs transphobic ruling on the definition of woman last week is a defeat for all womenβeven, ultimately, the self-described feminists celebrating it, and the women who will gain in the short term from their alliance with the carceral state.

I will always advocate for my trans students but I wish it weren't so exhausting. One email has been passed around 3 different people because no one can tell me why the line is 'don't use this child's preferred name and pronouns.' Meanwhile I'm sure this student having to deal with the consequences!

incredible scenes as the reviewer on my ethics application for thinking about why we're so scared of talking about bodies in the classroom has asked me to remove the word 'bodies' because is is too charged
