She’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 that’s exactly what every conservative argued against.

Yep. And she can loudly proclaim she’s been silenced from a larger platform than academia…

I’d say it doesn’t belong here, it’s divide and rule hate politics masquerading as something positive. I’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.

It’s more of a Today In Transphobia topic until the anti trans hate is removed, and there isn’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 can’t.

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

Hyper-local small potatoes thing, but I’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.)

It’s for positive news, so this might go better in the magical history thread…

Then I shall request the mods delete this thread, and I apologise.

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. I’ve edited the description to be clearer.

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