Excited to see Aven Peters' innovative & rigorous study of embodiment and trans identification out in the latest AJS. Aven's study adds an essential new piece to our understanding of contemporary population patterns of trans identification and announces @avenpeters.bsky.social as a major new talent.

This sounds like a really compelling course! My article on the relationship between disability and transness is *almost* out—you can read the accepted manuscript here, and the pretty typeset version should be available sometime in January. www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/...

I’m a few days behind on #fishyfeb, but here’s my #hawkfish!

Colored pencil drawing of a hawkfish. The fish looks purple due to the lighting, with red-orange and black spots. The background is an abstract blend of purple, black, blue, and white.

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

Federal data update: BRFSS has been taken down and a lot of the census website is “unavailable due to maintenance,” although data.census.gov still works.

The CDC’s Youth Risk Behavior Survey has monitored the wellbeing of America’s high school students since 1991. Since 2015, it’s been a vital source of data on LGBQ youth. In 2023, it provided the first ever nationally representative sample of transgender teens. As of this morning, it’s gone.

Maria Moe (pseudonym), a trans woman in federal prison, is suing Donald Trump after his executive order resulted, horrifyingly, in her being removed from the general population, locked in solitary confinement, and told she’d be transferred to a men’s prison because of the order.
