Er der virkelig kun 2 biologiske køn? 🧵 Opslaget kan også findes på Instagram 🔗 i bio (fremtidige opslag er at finde med ALT tekst)

Excellent opinion piece by the leaders of the Gender Studies departments in Norway in defence for the field and academic freedom. They warn about a normalisation of Trumpist censorship of academic freedom and express concerns that this could be spreading to Norway. www.khrono.no/trussel-mot-...

Ifølge Elon Musk er DOGE - Departementet for Offentlig Effektivisering - i gang med at effektivisere USAs bureaukrati. Det er også en forklaring man vil høre hvis man lyttede til Genstart 12. februar. Men er det nu også effektivisering vi er vidne til? Lyt med! cybernauterne.dk/podcast/cybe...

Det er altid fint med faktatjek, men særligt når det kommer til anti-wokeness, tror jeg det er vigtigt at være opmærksom på hvad bevægelsen bygger på. Anti-wokeness er nemlig ikke styret af fakta, men af følelser. 🧵🔽 1/10 www.tjekdet.dk/faktatjek/me...

Anti-trans politics in Denmark: one of the far-right parties suggests a de-facto elimination of the existence of trans people (no rights to legal gender change, only two genders, defunding orgs. helping trans people or promoting "extreme gender ideoloy" = defunding research). Thread in Danish 👇

Join us for a conversation about anti-wokeness and the reactionary right for a Scandinavian perspective on the recent tech-bro turn.

"En betingelse for å kunne forsvare demokratiet vårt er at vi vet hvem som truer det. Vi trenger at journalister og kommentatorer finner et egnet språk for å omtale det som skjer rett foran øynene våre, og at de i alle fall ikke overtar aktørenes egne begreper." www.aftenposten.no/meninger/deb...

🧵"So this is how liberty dies..." Trump’s first 3 weeks have been a relentless flood of actions. It's incredibly hard to keep up. I’ve gone through 69 actions & mapped out the pattern - showing how they fall within 5 broad domains consistent with authoritarian states 1/9

It's not complicated. They're just trying to stop women from being able to vote.

3500 scientists, biologists and experts in human sexual development write to the US government saying that sex isn't binary www.evolutionsociety.org/news/display...

What does the science say about transgender women in sports? With all the talk about "men" in women's sports, it's time to take a look at what scientific studies say. A brilliant article 👏👏 www.advocate.com/news/transge...

Brillian piece by Iris Segers and @christopherfardan.bsky.social from @crexuio.bsky.social about the lack of a critical approach when the Norwegian media reports on Trump. They warn that this can lead to a normalisation of racism, misogyny, and transphobia. www.sv.uio.no/c-rex/englis...

"While there is every reason to be outraged, we cannot let that outrage flood us and stop our minds. For this is a moment to grasp the fascist passions that fuel this shameless grab for authoritarian powers." www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

Det er helt vildt hvor mange misvisende påstande Morten Messerschmidt slipper af sted med at sidde og fyre af i Deadline - helt uden at der bliver spurgt ind til hvad han mener og helt uden at DR faktatjekker dem. Læs @mortenstinus.bsky.social's fremragende analyse her 👇

Jeg havde fornøjelsen at tale med @maiathecyberwitch.bsky.social om manfluencere og misogyni på manosfæren. Lyt til podcasten her 👇 og tjek i øvrigt også Cybernauternes andre podcasts ud.

Exactly what researchers have been warning for years: there is a significant overlap between racism and misogyny on the extreme far-right and those discourses seep into the mainstream and have the potential to turn violent. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

I'm so happy this paper was written 🙏 Positivism policing of feminist/gender studies research has haunted my academic experience since day 1, and I'm sure it'll be relatable to you too. Part of a great new issue of the Danish journal Kvinder, Køn & Forskning. tidsskrift.dk/KKF/article/...

Intressant utveckling på Reddit. Vad som började som ett initiativ på en subreddit för ett fotbollslag att blocka länkar till Twitter pga Musks heilande har nu spridit sig som en löpeld över hela sajten. Nästan alla större subreddits har, efter diskussioner och omröstningar, valt att också blocka.

Hvordan forsvare demokratiet? Vel, først må vi beskrive virkeligheten slik den er. Elon Musk bidrar til å normalisere autoritær høyreekstremisme (på flere måter). Jeg uttaler meg litt til NRK om det her. www.nrk.no/urix/profess...

Jeg har på min Substack skrevet et indlæg om #dkmedier's dækning af Musks kontroversielle hilsen. Min overordnede pointe i indlægget er, at der er tale om et journalistisk svigt fordi dækningen fortier afgørende kontekst om Musks rabiate højrefløjsagenda. eftermedierne.substack.com/p/hvorfor-ig...

If you do a Nazi salute to own the libs or to troll or to generate discussion or to make a point you are still doing a Nazi salute.

I am reading a *lot* of job applications atm so here’s a thread of my dos and donts for academic job applications. My experience is Humanities in UKHE so may play out differently elsewhere. 🧵

“Det er en del af ‘det nordiske paradoks’, at vi i Danmark topper de negative statistikker i vold mod kvinder. Vi har svært ved at tale om ‘det kønnede problem’, fordi vi har en fortælling om, at vi er ligestillede i Danmark og dermed underkender vi problematikken strukturelt.” 🎯 #dkpol

"Musk has not shown an interest in women’s rights or sexual abuse before. If he had, he might not have accepted a job in the administration of Donald Trump, a man found liable for sexual abuse." Elon Musk and the phoney far-right narrative of ‘protecting’ women theconversation.com/elon-musk-an...

New blog post! In light of the recent U.S. election, Tina Askanius highlights that gender and misogyny have taken centre stage in the world of politics and conservative thinking, and discusses what this might imply for scholars of extremism. www.sv.uio.no/c-rex/englis...
