“The argument is not just that trans youth should not access hormones or surgeries, but that trans youth should not in any way be recognized in public space or even supported privately at school.” We must refuse to comply with a politics of intimidation that seeks to shun and erase trans people.

Queer Judgments brings together scholars, lawyers, and activists to re-imagine and re-write legal judgments that relate to LGBTQ+ folk. It’s been a labour of love and community. We hope our book energises pursuits for justice! Download a copy here: counterpress.org.uk/publications... #AcademicSky

It's #LGBTHistoryMonth here in the UK, so what better time to crack open a book and read up on some queer history? From essays about how queer media shaped the world, to section 28, the aids epidemic and even the history of poppers, it's time to add some non-fiction to your TBR and get reading.

Today is the start of LGBT History Month in the UK. It’s tempting to imagine our history as one of linear progress but recent events remind us that progress is precarious. We struggle for recognition daily in a world that politicises us “ideology.” But our existence is our resistance. We persist. 🌈🎓

Recent political attention might imply gender-affirming care is risky, controversial, perhaps even new. But Australian law views it as a legitimate medical treatment.

As an editor of FLS, it was a delight to read this paper. It engages with rich Indigenous, trans and feminist scholarship to compellingly show why prison abolition is key for trans liberation and Indigenous sovereignty. Incarceration is an ongoing strategy of colonial governance for us to resist. 🌈🎓

“Many male MPs conveniently put the burden of safeguarding culture and religion on women and their bodies, nobody actually bothered to consider what the party of concern (women themselves) want regarding their bodily rights and autonomy.” Fixing women to their biology is sexist. We must resist it.

FYI: @amnestyuk.bsky.social has launched an online course for folks who want to learn more about feminist and queer approaches to gender justice. It explores connections between human rights struggles (abortion, trans care, LGBT education, etc) and provides tools for action. It’s free to access! 🌈🎓

Migrants are enduring hostile politics. In the UK, a bureaucracy designed to curb refugee claims has painful consequences for people, especially LGBTQ+ people who have to overcome ridiculous hurdles to prove their identity. I’ve written more about this here: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/... 🌈🎓

So exited to be speaking at this launch. The Edited Collection brings together 26 examples of alternative judgment writing drawing on queer theoretical perspectives to challenge the normativities of legal decision-making. looking forward to being at the University of Sussex on the 11th!

For the past few years, I’ve been working with scholars, lawyers, and activists from around the world on a project to re-imagine and re-write judgments from queer perspectives. It’s been a joy to see our first book come to life and we will launch it in Brighton (and online) next month. Join us! 🌈🎓

It isn’t racism to point out that another country has laws criminalising homosexuality or that it enables violence against women. It is racist, however, if you only “care” about these issues when you want to vilify migrants from that country while excusing homophobia and misogyny closer to home. 🌈🎓

As everyone should know by now, the anti-trans rhetoric isn’t about “protecting women” in bathrooms or sports … but about removing trans people from public life. And it’s working. This is a big company, making a big change that isn’t about protecting anyone (except men from having to see tampons).

I’m genuinely at a loss for words - Katherine Franke is as brilliant as she is principled and her being forced out of a tenured position for her position on Gaza and student protests feels like a gut punch to whatever remains of academic freedom in the US.

Octavia Butler couldn’t see the future. She saw what was happening in front of her and, in addition to studying the past, was able to imagine where it would lead. It’s important to tell the truth about her because mythologizing her is a disservice to her legacy.

I’ve said it before, I’ll repeat it now: whether you think a person “chooses” to be gay is irrelevant to whether you respect our existence. Our rights as gay people to live safely, pursue intimacy, create families, and build communities shouldn’t depend on if you believe we’re “born this way.” 🌈🎓
