One of the biggest obstacles to trans inclusivity in fieldwork is uncertainty. Here's a video of me talking about it but you can also read about it at inclusivefieldwork.leeds.ac.uk

Having these resources from inclusivefieldwork.leeds.ac.uk/trans printed physically really emphasises how much has gone into them!

There's something about creating a nice physical copy of an output that really helps with closure on a project. So worth it!

Something very cool should be getting delivered within the next hour. So exciting!

If you're outside the UK and haven't been sharing these resources because they aren't local to you, please share them anyway. They weren't made to be country-specific and I promise your country has trans people too!

This is brilliant and very useful for allies, because if there ever was a need to support our trans communities world wide, it is right now.

Saying 'most' tree-planting is unnecessary seems a tad excessive. Natural regeneration is a hugely important and underutilised tool in woodland creation but there are lots of reasons why it might not be the first-choice or sole approach.

This is one of those things I'm going to keep reposting until you're sick of it. It's not just because I want to make sure everyone sees it. I want everyone to see it multiple times. I want it in your long-term memories so that it's something you use and share and don't forget when you scroll away

Side note: Over half a decade later & the sexist description remain... 🙄 Mens🚹: great for outdoors, moulded outsole, traction grip, fabric insock, supportive calf... Womens🚺: high top with ✨ contrasting chunky sole ✨ (no joke) +30% more $$ Damn it, some of us ladies just wanna catch bugs! 🙃

A product description screenshot that reads:
"Dunlop Mens Wellingtons
The Mens Dunlop Wellies are great for working outdoors or when the weather turns icy and snowy, benefiting from a moulded outsole with traction grip whilst the fabric insock offers extra comfort, teamed with a sloping calf for a supportive feel when walking and are complete with the classic Dunlop emblem to each side."

A product description screenshot that reads:
"Dunlop Ladies Wellington

Don't let the weather get in the way when you have the Dunlop Ladies Wellingtons. The waterproof design with a high top allows you to wade and walk through the puddles and mud feeling comfortable and dry. Finished with Dunlop branding and a contrasting chunky sole."

"Most reasonable adjustments a trans+ person might ask for will also apply to other disadvantaged groups. " <- 𝙏𝙃𝙄𝙎! Clothing part really spoke to me! Vividly remember the hassle of special ordering field wellies (coincidentally while at Leeds😆) as they only came in men or junior sizes in-store...

Please share these guidelines for trans-inclusive fieldwork as far as you can. Sharing this thread is great but the biggest impact would be sending inclusivefieldwork.leeds.ac.uk/trans directly to your colleagues, networks, professional societies, journalists, and friends. Thank you! 🏳️‍⚧️

Having something that looks authoritative can also make a big difference as a resource when advocating for trans inclusivity, so here's a version that goes one step further than our university website and can actually be printed and cited academically: doi.org/10.17613/355...

This is an excellent resource for anyone who supervises trans+ folks doing fieldwork but, also, many of these recommendations are applicable well beyond fieldwork, for anyone leading, supervising, mentoring, employing, or otherwise collaborating with trans+ colleagues I highly recommend it:

Things are really tough as a trans person right now and guidelines and policies often fall short of meaningful support. I am so proud to have created these resources and I hope that they will help a lot of people. Guidelines actually written by trans people are so important!

For those of you on other platforms, I could really do with some help getting these guidelines noticed by the tiktok, instagram, and linkedin algorithms. I'd really appreciate it if you could go and interact with 1) vm.tiktok.com/ZN8rdS4cq/ 2) www.instagram.com/reel/DdttqPP... 3) lnkd.in/p/ewQF8K2e

Super-important, comprensive #fieldwork guidance for #trans+ researchers, incuding those who are non-binary & gender non-conforming. I love that the guidance stresses the importance of maintaining one's own agency, and that the guidelines are relevant for disadvantaged groups generally 🧪
