Thought-provoking and fascinating talk by @kevinguyan.bsky.social at tonight’s joint @rssedinburgh.bsky.social & @rssdiversity.bsky.social event; on the importance of box breakers and careful design of classification studies. Some helpful considerations ⬇️ Highly recommend his new book #rainbowtrap

Slide stating WE NEED TO...
expose the design decisions behind gender, sex and sexuality categories.
Go beyond 'adding more' options to an ever-growing list of categories.
Understand 'Prefer Not to Say' as a choice not a datapoint to be removed
Recognise those who refuse and ensure they're not harmed by saying 'no'.

It’s the time of year for mentioning one of my favourite ‘untranslatables’. ‘Poronkusema’, in Finnish, once denoted a distance of around 7.5km, which is roughly how long a reindeer can last before needing to urinate. ‘Poronkusema’ means ‘reindeer pee’.

The pic isn't all of the team, we don't meet face to face very often as we are a dispersed team working across 5 different offices and homes. Contrary to popular opinion this doesn't hinder us working together and innovating, rather it allows us to tap into talent across the country.
