If anyone is in any doubt about the motives of transphobia, look at this blatant historical revisionism. It doesn’t stop at everyday bullying, it doesn’t stop at restricting trans healthcare or rights. It’s about the complete erasure of current and historic trans people.

2 of 3 reviewers on my interpretive qualitative paper want intercoder reliability tests, random sample to prevent selection bias, tables w/counts, comparison to those not interviewed, & generalizability. If you are NOT qualified to review qualitative research, please say no to the journal's request.

Reporting on grooming gangs tends to focus on minorities, however, as Home Office's own report showed, offenders are far more likely to be white, British. This isn't an immigration issue. Playing to racist tropes means majority of perpetrators are ignored. 1/ #r4today www.gov.uk/government/p...

Today someone made my day by getting in touch with me to say they had attended a presentation I gave and found it interesting/relevant and wondered if they could pass on some findings. As an early career researcher/PhD student it is incredibly motivating to know that your work chimed with someone.

Starter packs are genius, but I was surprised there wasn't a list of them for people to find. So I built it: blueskydirectory.com/starter-pack... The website monitors the packs being shared and adds the ones it finds to the database. Missed your stater pack? Message me and I'll get it added.
