There is going to be a lot of noise about the scientific evidence of trans medical care today. As someone who studied LGBTQI+ politics, I can promise that gender affirming care has been around longer than you realize.

The HEPI report on transgender students (UK) highlights systemic barriers but undermines itself by promoting gender-critical “debate.” This biased recommendation strays from the data, raising concerns about author integrity and bad research practice. Share to spread awareness.

Critical theories challenge power structures, aim for emancipation, and resist oppressive ideologies. If your ‘theory’ reinforces dominance or excludes marginalised voices, it’s not critical—it’s reactionary.

Late to the 20 day challenge:

Queer Data by Kevin Guyan shifted how I think about research and the politics of data. Has anyone else read it?
