This is just my opinion, but I don't think departments need to change their strategy for reading or grading student work.
Departments need a strategy for responding to harassment and attacks.

every trans person i see post about the OU suspension knows that the suspended target is trans & a grad student, & has an innate awareness that this is about purging trans employees. every cis person i see thinks the target is a rando professor & that this is about giving conservatives good grades

everything, literally everything, we talk about has to be contextualised with that we ARE NOT GOING TO GET ANYTHING THAT FEELS LIKE A WIN, AT ALL, until 2027 at least if we can win the midterms as hard as we won this election day.
and the ongoing shutdown should not feel like A Win to you.

I'm so excited for this book.
I found Jude's wonderful writing soon after realizing I was a trans woman, at a pivotal moment for my own feminism. In retrospect, I was at risk of sliding into a cramped understanding of gender that was shitty to trans men. Jude pointed me in a better direction.
