Sheā€™ll be hired by some conservative think tank. Maybe here.

Also:

ā€œ She has also argued that self-ID ā€œthreatens a secure understanding of the concept ā€˜lesbianā€

Every lesbian is self identified. And thatā€™s exactly what every conservative argued against.

Yep. And she can loudly proclaim sheā€™s been silenced from a larger platform than academiaā€¦

Iā€™d say it doesnā€™t belong here, itā€™s divide and rule hate politics masquerading as something positive. Iā€™m having PTSD from my experience of anti-trans conversion therapy from 25 years ago when I was in my teens, just from reading about it. It is depressing to know that it is still happening and that groups like LGB Alliance campaign for it.

Itā€™s more of a Today In Transphobia topic until the anti trans hate is removed, and there isnā€™t much chance of that with Liz Truss being in charge of Inequalities.

It is sad that we need this, but I am glad they are there. I could choose to walk away from my conversion therapy, but other people canā€™t.

I would not be surprised if my old therapist abuser is in the LGBA now

Hyper-local small potatoes thing, but Iā€™m pretty happy. Both these propositions in Pflugerville, Texas passed:

Proposition D: Shall the City of Pflugerville amend its Charter to prohibit discrimination based on gender identity and sexual orientation?

Proposition E: Shall the City of Pflugerville amend its Charter to provide gender neutral wording?

I read the description at the top of ā€œThis is a thread for general news and discussion of LGBTQ+ topics.ā€ and thought this general news relevant to the topic.

I apologise if I was mistaken, and this is meant to be specifically for good news. (I can see why that would be necessary.)

Itā€™s for positive news, so this might go better in the magical history threadā€¦

No problem. Mistakes happen.

No apology required. I should have been clearer in the description when I created the thread as a spin-off of a discussion in another, forgetting that not everyone would have seen that discussion. Iā€™ve edited the description to be clearer.

The second part about the ā€œQueer Love in Colorā€ projectā€¦ and the game after that is great, too.
