A PhD-level expert isn’t someone who can answer any question off the top of their head. A PhD-level expert is someone who will stare at some piece of information, say, “that doesn’t seem right,” and then spend enormous amounts of time obsessively hunting down every piece of information they can…

TW: harm to children.

My research into the effects of the UK government puberty-blocker ban has finally been published after peer-review.

It details the severe harm being caused to young trans people & children by the Starmer government's puberty-blocker ban.

Unlike Cass it is peer reviewed...

DuBois, Trujillo, & McCarthy released ed. vol on sex/gender entanglement across fields including developmental biology, neuroscience, health equity, transgender health, cancer research, & more. Looks to be some rigorous interdisciplinary work on sex/gender to date. Fully downloadable.

A common claim in #EvoPsych is that the persistence of psychological sex differences in gender-egalitarian* countries shows that the differences are innate. I've argued that ignores the highly-gender-unequal media environment. Now @larawood.bsky.social has proved me right!

🚨New publication... Children's films contain innacurate gender stereotypes and these corresespond to children's (and adult's) implicit and explicit gendered associations.

Unsure how to collect gender, sex and sexuality data following the UK Supreme Court ruling?

📝 New writing on how a biology-first approach to diversity data WILL NOT WORK and how we can defend inclusive approaches.

Lady Hale gets it: "There's nothing in that judgment that says that you can’t have gender neutral loos"

🚨New open access book!

To promote informed applications in research, policy, medicine, and public health, the Ernst Strüngmann Forum convened scholars from diverse fields to examine a widely held assumption that sex and gender are conceptually separate.

“Only ten years ago we were the best in the world in the annual LGBTI Rights Ranking. We’re now 22nd... This is not just an embarrassment abroad – it’s also a tragedy at home for tens of thousands of people struggling to live lives of quiet dignity.” goodlaw.social/5mgp

There are now over 2000 UK academic signatories to our open letter in support of trans rights & inclusion, along with hundreds of other UK educators & international supporters. It's heartening to see such support from colleagues for our trans siblings. #NotInOurName docs.google.com/document/d/1...
