Great to join the roundtable with fellow editors of g/local journals at KNU. I introduced @millennjournal.bsky.social and shared thoughts on open access, PhD editors’ positionality, and generative AI. Excited to chair a panel on IR knowledge production via autoethnographies from East Asia later.

FA to ban transgender women from playing women’s football in England

* Decision by FA comes after supreme court ruling * Ruling comes into force from 1 June The Football Association has announced that it will ban transgender women from playing in women’s football from 1 June. It follows the ruling from the supreme court that the term “woman” in the Equality Act refers only to a biological woman. The decision comes barely a month after the FA ruled that transgender women could continue to play in the women’s game as long as they kept their testosterone levels below 5 n/mol for at least 12 months.

Love and solidarity to UK trans people today. Trans people exist, trans people have always existed and will always exist. Trans women are women and feminism without trans women is fascist feminism.
